Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has identified seven hotspots for critical flood mitigation works following several flash flood incidents in the city. Petaling Jaya mayor Datuk Mohamad Zahri Samingon said these locations were in Taman Sri Manja, Taman Buana Perdana, Taman Dato Harun, Taman Medan Baru, Jalan PJS 10/11E, Gerai Jalan 223 and Jalan Selangor (Inai Merah Quarters). Mohamad Zahri: MBPJ has installed mobile CCTV systems and warning sirens for real-time water level monitoring. Mohamad Zahri said the dam structure at Jalan Sri Manja would remain closed for Taman Buana Perdana residents’ safety while a proposal to raise the road level at Jalan Sri Manja by 60mm to 900mm was under further review. “As part of ongoing preparedness measures, MBPJ has deployed mobile pumps and lorries at the Taman Sri Manja community hall, installed mobile CCTV systems and warning sirens for real-time water level monitoring,” the mayor added.
