MELAKA, Nov 9 — The Melaka state government will continue its efforts to address flooding issues throughout the state until the root causes are identified and resolved, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh.

He said a phased approach tailored to specific areas will continue to be implemented, taking into account various factors, including inadequate drainage systems and natural phenomena.

“As long as the flooding issue remains unresolved, I will not cease serving the people. We will identify the root causes of these floods.

“It is possible that we lack a well-organised and properly planned drainage system, it could also be due to natural phenomena that we must take into account,” he told Bernama.
