PETALING JAYA: Authorities have checked and carried out maintenance on infrastructure in Penang to ensure that everything is in working order.

This comes as the north-east monsoon, which often sees heavier rains in parts of the country, started earlier this month.

“We have identified 63 localities in Penang that are prone to flooding and we will closely monitor these areas, especially when there is heavy rainfall. At the same time, due to unsystematic drainage and low-lying land, several villages around Penang will be hit harder if the rain intensity is high during hide tide.

“As we are facing the monsoon season, there will be strong winds and heavy rains. If the wind speed is too high and the rain is too heavy and affects visibility, we will suspend the service or slow down the speed depending on the situation. “When heavy rain and strong wind are detected, the server will send an email to our staff so that we can check the main area for fallen trees or branches,” he said.“After a heavy downpour, we will check slopes for soil erosion. We will also continue to repair the drains to ensure that they are functioning properly,” he said.
