GEORGE TOWN, Nov 10 — Penang’s draft Structure Plan 2040 includes proposals to upgrade flood hotspots and install pumps in certain areas, state Local Government and Town and Country Planning Committee chairman H’ng Mooi Lye said today.
He said the proposed measures included the installation of flood mitigation infrastructure at selected locations.
“I believe that under the Structure Plan 2040, we also have plans to look at hotspot areas where upgrades have been proposed.
“These include the installation of screw pumps and submersible pumps in certain areas,” he told reporters after he was asked about the state’s plans to mitigate flooding, including recent flooding in an industrial area in Bayan Lepas.
