KUALA TERENGGANU, Dec 22 (Bernama) -- The Terengganu government is to undertake a comprehensive study of the drainage system in the state as one of several measures to alleviate floods in the state, Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said told the state legislative assembly today.
He said the state government would improve the drainage system in areas prone to floods.
The Public Works Department would raise the level of flood-prone roads and build more concrete drains to channel off excess water easily, he added when replying to a question from Rosli Othman (BN-Kemasik).
Replying to a supplementary question, from Muhammad Ramli Nuh (BN-Tepoh), Ahmad said the state government had allocated RM21 million for the Public Works Department (JKR) to repair state roads damaged by the recent floods.
He said the JKR would also repair damaged federal roads with a RM35 million allocation provided by the federal government.
"Other roads will be repaired by the district councils, which had been allocated RM20 million for the purpose," he said.
