KLANG, NOV 15 — Three flood hotspots in Selangor have been identified as more critical during the early stages of the Northeast Monsoon (MTL); consequently, authorities will implement mitigation measures as soon as possible to reduce the risk of recurring incidents.
Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the three affected areas are Kampung Melayu Subang, Kubu Gajah, and Puncak Alam.
"This is an ongoing effort, and we will re-examine these areas.
"Certainly, the two or three primary locations are Kampung Melayu Subang, Kubu Gajah, and Puncak Alam,"he said.
He made these remarks after officiating the National Digital Education Carnival for Parental, Community, and Private Sector Engagement (PIBKS) 2026 here today.
Amirudin added that mitigation efforts also take into account areas that have faced long-term flooding issues, such as Parit Mahang in Kuala Selangor.
He said several areas previously prone to frequent flooding, such as Dengkil and Kuala Langat, have shown improvement as a result of the mitigation measures implemented.
He added that the number of flood hotspots in Selangor has been successfully reduced from over 100 (around 2016–2017) to approximately 56 at present.
"I often mention places like Kampung Lombong, Kampung Bukit Lanchong, or Seri Muda, among others.
"However, we are still in the early stages of the monsoon, so we will need to monitor developments as they unfold," he said.
During the tabling of the Selangor Budget 2027, Amirudin announced that 56 flood mitigation and control projects have been identified for implementation next year to reduce flood risks within the state.
He said the Public Works Department (JKR), local authorities (PBT), and the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (JPS) must prioritise projects capable of resolving flooding issues, ranging from the construction of culverts and drainage systems under the purview of local authorities to the building of bridges and river mitigation works.
According to him, technical reviews that can be conducted concurrently should be initiated earlier, while issues involving multiple agencies must be promptly escalated to the authorities empowered to resolve them.
