Selangor studying retention ponds, drainage upgrades for Shah Alam, Klang and Kajang, says exco

The Selangor state government is studying critical locations for new retention ponds and drainage upgrades to combat flash floods in urban areas like Shah Alam, Klang, and Kajang.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced RM100 million for retention ponds and river maintenance in the Klang Valley, part of the federal government's multi-billion flood mitigation projects.

Additional allocations are expected in the Selangor Budget 2027 for flood management, including RM40 million for Bukit Raja upgrades, while a 'water highway' proposal is under consideration.

KLANG, Oct 18 — The Selangor state government is conducting a detailed study to identify critical locations for new retention ponds and drainage upgrades to address flash floods, particularly in urban areas.

State Infrastructure and Agriculture Committee chairman Datuk Izham Hashim said the study would focus on areas requiring urgent solutions, including Shah Alam, Klang and Kajang.

“Selangor is currently receiving various flood mitigation projects from the federal government worth more than RM4 billion, some of which are being implemented or nearing completion, while others are still in the planning stages.

“We acknowledge that flash flood issues still need to be addressed, particularly in urban areas such as Shah Alam, Klang and Kajang. We will therefore study and identify the critical locations for the construction of retention ponds or the widening of drainage systems,” he told reporters after officiating the Selangor State Budget Town Hall Programme: Kita Anak Muda 2026 here today.

When tabling Budget 2027 on Oct 9, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced an allocation of RM100 million for the development of retention ponds and river maintenance to reduce flash flood risks in the Klang Valley.

The federal and Selangor state governments also agreed on five key measures to address flooding, including assessing the capacity of the Batu Dam and Klang Gates Dam to meet water requirements over the next 30 years.

Izham said that besides constructing retention ponds and upgrading drainage systems, he had also proposed alternative flood mitigation measures, including a ‘water highway’ in the Klang Valley.

He said the proposal had previously been presented to the Prime Minister, who requested that it be studied thoroughly before being included in Water Master Plan 2.

Meanwhile, Izham said the federal government had approved RM40 million to address flash floods around Bukit Raja, including i-City. However, the upgrading project was still at the design stage and would require more time before implementation.

He said his portfolio was also expected to receive additional allocations under the Selangor Budget 2027, to be tabled next month, for road and flood management projects under the Public Works Department (JKR) and the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (JPS).

“We do indeed have high-value projects. The matter will be announced by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari later,” he said.

On frequent accidents along Persiaran Mokhtar Dahari, Izham said a proposal to upgrade the route was being finalised.

He said the proposals included increasing the number of lanes from two to three, including at intersections, although implementation would involve relatively high costs. — Bernama

雪兰莪州政府正在研究新建蓄水池和升级排水系统的关键地点，以应对莎阿南、巴生和加影等城市地区的突发洪水。

首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣宣布拨款1亿令吉用于巴生谷的蓄水池和河流维护，这是联邦政府数十亿令吉防洪项目的一部分。

预计雪兰莪州 2027 年财政预算案将追加拨款用于防洪，其中包括拨款 4000 万令吉用于武吉拉惹的升级改造，同时一项“水上高速公路”提案也正在考虑之中。

巴生，10 月 18 日讯——雪兰莪州政府正在进行一项详细研究，以确定新建蓄水池和升级排水系统的关键地点，从而应对突发洪水，尤其是在城市地区。

州基础设施和农业委员会主席拿督伊扎姆·哈希姆表示，这项研究将重点关注需要紧急解决方案的地区，包括莎阿南、巴生和加影。

“雪兰莪州目前正从联邦政府获得价值超过 40 亿令吉的各种防洪项目，其中一些项目正在实施或接近完成，而另一些项目仍在规划阶段。

“我们承认，山洪暴发问题仍需解决，尤其是在莎阿南、巴生和加影等城市地区。因此，我们将研究并确定修建蓄水池或拓宽排水系统的关键地点，”他在今天于此地主持雪兰莪州财政预算市政厅活动“Kita Anak Muda 2026”后告诉记者。

2027 年 10 月 9 日，首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣在提交 2027 年财政预算案时宣布拨款 1 亿令吉用于巴生谷的蓄水池开发和河流维护，以减少山洪暴发的风险。

联邦政府和雪兰莪州政府还就应对洪灾的五项关键措施达成一致，其中包括评估峇都水坝和巴生闸水坝在未来 30 年内满足用水需求的能力。

伊扎姆表示，除了修建蓄水池和升级排水系统外，他还提出了其他防洪措施，包括在巴生谷修建一条“水上高速公路”。

他说，该提案此前已提交给总理，总理要求在将其纳入《水资源总体规划 2》之前对其进行彻底研究。

与此同时，伊扎姆表示，联邦政府已批准拨款4000万令吉用于治理武吉拉惹（包括i-City）周边地区的突发洪水。然而，该升级改造项目仍处于设计阶段，还需要更多时间才能实施。

他表示，根据下个月即将提交的 2027 年雪兰莪州财政预算案，他的部门预计还将获得额外拨款，用于公共工程局 (JKR) 和灌溉与排水局 (JPS) 的道路和防洪项目。

“我们确实有一些高价值项目。此事稍后将由州务大臣拿督斯里阿米鲁丁·沙里宣布，”他说。

针对 Persiaran Mokhtar Dahari 沿线频繁发生的交通事故，Izham 表示，升级该路线的方案正在最终确定中。

他表示，这些方案包括将车道数量从两条增加到三条，包括在十字路口，但实施起来成本相对较高。——马新社
