Residents of Lorong Stampin Barat 4 can look forward to better drainage and fewer flood woes as work officially begins on a RM250,000 project to upgrade the area\u2019s aging earth drains to concrete ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project, funded under the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP) 2025, was launched with a site visit by Kota Sentosa State assemblyman Wilfred Yap Yau Sin, who also handed over the Letter of Award to the appointed contractor, Bard Supply and Services Company, through a “cabut undi” process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The upgrade will be overseen by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID), is expected to be completed by November this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking at the event, Yap said the initiative was in direct response to persistent requests from residents, especially those living near SK Laksamana, who have been dealing with poor drainage, water ponding, and erosion for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis may seem like a simple drainage project, but for the people living here, it means peace of mind,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about protecting homes, ensuring safer surroundings for schoolchildren, and responding to the needs of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stressed the importance of quality workmanship and timely delivery, adding that he will continue to work closely with DID to monitor the project\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis project is a promise kept. It\u2019s part of our ongoing mission to ensure public funds are used meaningfully, with real impact on people\u2019s lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The upgrade is expected to improve stormwater flow, reduce flash flooding, and make the neighbourhood cleaner and safer for residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
