00:01so the obvious uh obviously current rainfall is tremendously high i think it's growing it's
00:08growing and of course the the most logical approach is probably to increase the retention
00:14point have you identified or has jps identified yes so we i informed dbkl that we should be a
00:21sponge city and that's why we do two things one the jwp has a task force quickly gather all the
00:29green space the reason is because i do not want green space to miraculously disappear
00:35every time you have a new ft minister come in and so we publish that list we put it up
00:40and we
00:41quickly get that so as long as you have you maintain those sparks it becomes a natural sponge
00:46on top of that dbkl also has a solution to create on-site detention pond right and on-site detention
00:55pond when land is scarce it simply means there'll be land that you need to acquire uh there will be
01:01uh land that you will need to construct underneath a field like botanical garden and also padang hubbuk
01:08so we are doing these two things for sponge city we are also looking at incentive for redevelopment
01:15okay um that means if you it's still at the guidelines level if you give up more land as a
01:25result of
01:25redevelopment for green space so out of 10 blocks for example you create a big padang maybe in those
01:34circumstances where we get a new park then i will allow you higher plot ratio for example so we are
01:40also
01:40looking at this kind of incentive to encourage creation of green space yeah three methods lah you
01:46have to tackle it together yeah but in terms of on-site detention pond is there any available sites oh
01:53plenty because you do it underneath the padang like the one and also like now we are identifying a place
02:00uh near sota abdul samad because the government has spent so much on bangunan sota abdul samad the last
02:06thing you want is to for them for it to experience flood so we don't we don't want that okay
02:11let's
02:11talk about the bukit kiara one the flesh flood the bukit kiara flesh flood has given dbkl a very
02:17important uh lesson and review of their current sop which means the cutting of hill must always go in
02:23phases you cannot allow even if it's a federal government agency like jkr and uh jabatan landscape
02:31to do that yeah and that that has that lesson has led to the announcement of a buffer zone
02:38to be created in the front at the front of bukit kiara uh puzzle a and puzzle b uh 300
02:45meters buffer zone
02:46uh one is for the protection of the species in bukit kiara number two is also to prevent another book
02:53uh
02:53uh jabatan landscape kind of flash flood uh online sentiments would always go to you know whenever
03:01a first happen online sentiment would be like oh it's first happening again what is the government doing
03:05yeah uh probably from the government side uh can you uh probably explain about how addressing flood
03:13is not a one thing uh it goes on a few a long term process yeah so for dbkl's budget
03:20i want it to be
03:22um no longer based on uh just because every year we're doing the same thing okay let's say like
03:30how you set aside 85 million a year for example every year we just set that aside but you know
03:35that
03:35every year the rainfall is different and the trend is now starting to show that every year there's
03:40increment the pattern of the the rainfall and as such your budget to do this must also follow
03:47the pattern and spend more uh and and for me is i want to make kl resilient to climate changes
03:56we must
03:57not be taken by surprise uh by the rainfall that means start building infrastructure that is bigger
04:04capacity the last time they review all this capacity was 2016 that's 10 years ago you know and the rain
04:11pattern has changed already the drainage capacity yeah dbkl drainage capacity 2016 yeah
04:21no no when you build something you are building it based on a trajectory right of the of the rainfall
04:27yeah but every year there's increment right so through all this i mean of course investigation has to be
04:33done uh in terms of the entire incident you guys find any uh misconduct by the consultants or uh contractors
04:42that led to this i can only tell you at site when mayor went down together with their timbalan pengarah
04:48jkr perform pembangunan they have identified that they have to create more desilting and retention pond
04:55three ponds uh at the site this is the bukit kiara the the jabatan landscape project right and then on
05:04top of
05:04that um they they look into the capacity you know how is this enough for the rainfall if it's half
05:11an
05:11hour is already spilling over how can even take two hours of two hours of rain and then we have
05:17to we
05:18have to mobilize bomba has to be there to wash the streets uh just if the consultant i feel had
05:27been
05:27more hands-on this wouldn't have been a problem yeah and obviously this is something that you know my
05:34my office is in the chat group with the residents and for six months before this everybody was telling
05:39the consultant and the contractor the same thing that this is bound to happen but there was no response
05:45from them like just slow yeah so in terms of this one right obviously it's not only happening in
05:51kikara obviously everywhere else sites as well so this is where the engineering supervisors are very
05:58important because when you have so many projects ongoing you people will then say you know okay where is
06:06the monitoring and do we have enough engineers to be to be at site uh so really i think if
06:14you are
06:14looking at monitoring projects like that either the hq has a very strong engineering team or you
06:20have uh down to every parliament there should be the the engineers responsible to help with this yeah
06:28so do you think uh all the penalties or whatever you did the damages are enough to criminalize all these
06:38we now have an additional burden of what's happening in iran and how that is affecting the existing
06:46contract for projects that have been tended out and how we have to be so careful to make sure that
06:52it's not an abandoned project because the moment is abandoned and then government have to do vo and all
06:57that's even more troublesome yeah so we are really at a very sticky time you know
07:03and and then mayor had to step in and say no you have to create this and then the hq
07:07have to send your engineer down so
07:10you
