The government spend hundred of million for flood mitigation such as smart tunnel and other desilting projects. Guess what? All these measures didn't work, floods happen again and again during raining season. Worst still as it has become too often that places like Putra World Trade Center also get flooded as high as 2 m resulting in hundred of cars submerged under water and a massive traffic congestion yesterday.
I really do not know who to blame. To blame the government of half-past-six measures taken? Or the sky simply pour too much? Or the people for throwing too much rubbish into the river causing it to get silted up? Or global warming? Or we have simply cut down far too many trees?
One thing is for sure, don't ever go to Kuala Lumpur, our capital city when it is raining. The risk is too high, if you are lucky, you may just stuck in a traffic jam for a couple of hours. If not, you could have your car submerged under water and get ready a few thousands dollars for a repair.
