The never-ending problem of floods has affected the lives of many who are pinning their hopes on the state government to find long-term solutions.

The districts of Larut, Matang and Selama, Hilir Perak, Batang Padang, Kampar and Kerian as well as the state capital of Ipoh in the Kinta district have not been spared from the yearly floods.
