Create 'sponge city' as part of long-term flood mitigation plans for KK, Sabah DAP Youth urges


KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government should begin thinking about creating a "sponge city" for the city here as part of comprehensive long term flood mitigation solutions, says Sabah DAP Youth chief Chan Loong Wei.

He said the state government could also consider public-private partnership (PPP) models to support projects that convert open spaces into functional flood mitigation infrastructure, fully integrated into the city masterplan.
