MELAKA — The Melaka state government has pledged to sustain its flood mitigation efforts across the state until persistent water-related issues are fully resolved, according to officials overseeing the initiative.
As part of this commitment, the state has earmarked RM432 million for the Sungai Baru Hilir project, a significant infrastructure undertaking designed to address drainage and flood management in the region. The investment reflects the government's prioritisation of flood prevention and control measures across Melaka's vulnerable areas.
State authorities have indicated that the flood response programme will extend beyond the current financial allocation, with ongoing assessments and interventions planned to tackle the root causes of seasonal and unexpected flooding events.
