‘Residents can sue authorities for flood damages’


SEREMBAN: Residents and property owners who incur huge losses due to floods have the right to sue the authorities for alleged negligence, says state MCA chief Siow Koi Voon (pic).

He quoted Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun as saying a move by three residents here to sue the state government for alleged negligence that resulted in massive floods in November 2020 was politically motivated and was uncalled for.
