Kota Kinabalu MP Chan Foong Hin trapped in a traffic jam that was caused by flash flooding around Menggatal at 11pm yesterday.

KOTA KINABALU: Kota Kinabalu (KK) MP Chan Foong Hin is determined to get behind the cause and solve the flash floods issues here.

“One of the previous government legacies are the flash floods that happens everywhere when hours of heavy down pour occurs in KK,” said Chan this afternoon.

“The new government is determined to solve this problem by getting the facts on three matters namely, federal allocation is always not enough for KK flood mitigation plan, rapid urbanisation in KK not equipped with proper drainage and irrigation planning, and the most fundamental work is neglected, e.g. drainage cleaning according to schedule.

“We should start our action based on these three aspects,” he explained.

Chan added that he will visit Kota Kinabalu Mayor Datuk Yeo Boon Hai with Likas assemblyman Tan Lee Fatt and Luyang assemblyman Jin Zhe Foong this afternoon.
