PETALING JAYA: A delegation comprising members of the Special Select Committee on Infrastructure, Transport and Communication visited the Tokyo Metropolitan Area Underground Discharge Channel on Thursday (Sept 28).

Ayer Hitam MP Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, who was part of the delegation, said the channel, a 6.3km tunnel 50m underground, is one of the largest in the world and takes in overflow from several small to mid-size rivers.

Dr Wee said the delegation learnt how the channel was built to address frequent flooding in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which is prone to heavy rainfall and typhoons.
