Selangor halts Puncak Alam development work pending flood mitigation plan

The Selangor Menteri Besar's office announced the decision to pause construction activities in the Puncak Alam area effective immediately, citing the need for a detailed flood mitigation plan before work can resume. The halt comes as authorities conduct a fresh evaluation of the project's potential environmental consequences. Officials stated that the suspension would remain in effect until the mitigation strategy is finalized and environmental assessments are completed to satisfaction. The move reflects growing concerns about development in the region and its relationship to flood risk management. No timeline was provided for when works might recommence, pending the outcome of the ongoing reviews.
