— FilepicPoor infrastructure, maintenance blamed for Kg Muhibbah woesRECURRING floods at PPR Kampung Muhibbah highlight deeper weaknesses in Kuala Lumpur’s drainage system, particularly upstream. This is despite having the nearby Kampung Bohol flood retention pond, says former Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) director-general Datuk Nor Hisham Mohd Ghazali. He said flood retention facilities could not be viewed in isolation. Nor Hisham said stormwater from the Kampung Muhibbah people’s housing project (PPR) must pass through internal drains, rivers or channels before reaching the Bohol pond. On the Kampung Bohol flood retention pond, he said if the pond had been upgraded based on projected runoff from the development area, it should be able to manage overflows.
