King calls for post-mortem on recent floods


SHAH ALAM: The government should conduct a post-mortem on the drainage system in the country towards addressing problems of flash floods in urban areas, says Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.

"I suggest that the government conduct a post-mortem on drainage in urban areas and cities, hopefully to reduce incidents such as flash floods from happening again," His Majesty told Bernama on Saturday (Dec 25) after visiting the Taman Sri Muda Mosque and surrounding areas that were affected by the floods.
