SRI AMAN: The flood problem in Kampung Hulu and Sri Aman will be solved with the completion of a retaining wall.
“The retaining wall to measure about 2.4 km up to Kampung Pasir Panas in Sri Aman will cost about RM27 million,” said Lingga assembywoman Simoi Peri.
According to Simoi, the Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) of Sri Aman will present to the Natural Resources Ministry a working paper for the project.
She revealed this during her visit to Kampung Hulu with officers from DID Sri Aman yesterday.
On another matter, Simoi said the State Government had approved a RM100,000 allocation to construct at Kampung Hulu a ‘flap gate’ to control drainage around the village, especially during high tide or floods.
“I am confident that upon completion, both projects will greatly benefit residents of Kampung Hulu,” she added.
