SHAH ALAM – A total of RM6 million from the initial allocation of RM10 million has been spent by the Selangor government to manage post-flood waste in the state so far, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
He said an allocation between RM10 million and RM20 million is needed for the clean-up work and collection of flood waste to be completed.
“A large-scale clean-up work is actively being carried out in Hulu Langat, especially in the Taman Sri Nanding area which has reached 70%.
“We also have to focus on Taman Sri Muda and its surrounding areas where (the clean-up progress) has been slow…today, we added 200 lorries that will be deployed to the areas and I hope the clean-up work can be completed within a week,” he said.
He said this to reporters after handing over aid under the Tabung Ikhtiar Selangor Bangkit initiative to flood victims, here, today.
So far, more than 20,000 tonnes of post-flood waste have been managed by the state government in addition to 7,000 tonnes of domestic waste collected through its subsidiary, KDEB Waste Management. – Bernama, December 31, 2021
