KUANTAN: Additional emergency works related to floods in Janda Baik, Bentong, with an estimated cost of RM1mil, is expected to begin next week and be completed within three months, says Environment and Water Ministry (Kasa) secretary-general Datuk Seri Dr Zaini Ujang.
During a visit to the affected areas on Friday (May 13), Zaini said the flash floods were caused by heavy rain in the upper reaches of the river basin and the shallow river bed around Janda Baik due to sedimentation caused by major floods in December 2021.
