KUALA LUMPUR: The Irrigation and Drainage Department (DID) are developing the Malaysia Dam Safety Management Guidelines (MyDam) to provide technical guidance for dam inspection, said Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (pic).

He said the guidelines were to ensure standardised instructions for dam inspection and maintenance that guaranteed that the dams did not fail and to take proactive action for the 104 dams available, including the Sg Merah Dam in Perak which was the oldest dam built in 1906.
