PUTRAJAYA: Shah Alam may be getting a SMART tunnel system as a solution to mitigate floods in the area, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. He said a national disaster management committee meeting chaired by him had heard a proposal for SMART tunnels to be constructed, especially in high-density areas such as Shah Alam. The meeting, held online, was attended by Mentris Besar and Chief Ministers, Chief of Armed Forces Jen Tan Sri Affendi Buang, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani and the Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali. Other measures proposed were to improve the flood siren and warning system at Drainage and Irrigation Department centres as well as monitoring via closed-circuit television (CCTV). A flood forecast and warning system based on artificial intelligence would be developed while some 100 weather observation stations would be upgraded.
