Chairman of Padawan Municipal Council, Lo Khere Chiang went to Mile 10 to look at the flood situation yesterday morning.

Lo said the flooding was due to consistence rain throughout the night and morning.

“This time, the Kampungs are not flooded but areas within Kuching and housing estates and not upper reaches of the river like oreviously. In Padawan, many Kampung are spare of any flooding. This is caused by over flowing of drainage,” he said.

He added that the flood in Kuching caused a lot of inconvenience especially those going to work yesterday. There were traffic jams and cars that went down the drains. He said unlike the flood in January due to few days of rainfall and King tide, the Kampungs were flooded.

The solution to the floods in Kuching, said Lo needs a substantial amount of money for flood mitigation plans to overhaul the whole city like major drains from housing estate that goes straight up to Sarawak rivers

If it were to be done partially, the flash flood cannot be solved.
