PAC finds faults and flaws in flood warning system

KUALA LUMPUR: The RM129mil the government spent on Phase One of the National Flood Forecasting and Warning Programme (PRAB) was not worth the cost due to accuracy issues, says the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

Its chairman Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin said based on the PAC’s proceedings, PRAB’s accuracy in measuring and predicting flood water levels regarding when and where floods will occur is not 100% accurate.
