Amenities lacking in small town

In Paka, a small town in Terengganu where I have been posted, there is no proper drainage system to disperse the rain water that we get quite a lot of in this part of the country, especially during the monsoon season which is coming soon.  

During the monsoon last year, the town and its main road, which connects Kuantan and Kuala Terengganu, were flooded for days. The situation was so bad that the people had to use boats to move around.
