KUALA SELANGOR – The Selangor government has been asked to conduct a joint study with the federal government to ascertain the cause of the floods that hit Selangor at the end of last year, said Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Tan Sri Noh Omar.

Noh, who is also the Tanjong Karang MP, said the study would also help to determine whether the floods were caused by river overflows or clogged drains.

“The local authorities must also look at the plans to develop Selangor and discuss with the approving parties whether the development projects are suitable to be implemented,” he told reporters here today.

Earlier, Noh attended a ceremony to hand rice cookers, gas stoves, and basic food necessities to 500 flood victims at Dewan Kg Bestari Jaya, Kg Bestari Jaya here. – Bernama, February 6, 2022
