Action has been taken over Baling floods but recovery needs time, says district officer

BALING, Sept 14 — Authorities have taken immediate action but the recovery process in the areas affected by the July 4 debris flows will take time because many aspects need to be looked into to ensure that such incidents do not recur, said Baling district officer Mohd Shahadan Abdullah.

“However, the things that we can speed up have been implemented as soon as possible, for example, the work on deepening the river, clearing the path and repairing the damage to the Bailey bridge,” he said when contacted by Bernama here today. “No party, including the government and myself, want to see more lives lost as a result of this disaster... the people just need to give some time for the authorities to repair...the government has taken actions.
