RESIDENTS of High Street in Tronoh, Perak, thought that the mud flood woes
they faced last year were over after a developer of a housing scheme nearby
constructed a bunker to stop the mud slides.
But the problem returned recently when part of the bunker gave way due to
the current wet spell.
Resident Loke Kah Chiew, 60, said each time there was a downpour, mud from
the housing project would flow into the residential area.
“We would spend half a day just to clean up the mess left behind,” he told a
press conference on Thursday.
The residents brought their problem to Tronoh assemblyman Datuk Lee Kon Yin
who then contacted the developer.
Lee said the developer, LBS Sdn Bhd, promised to take action.
LBS spokesman Wong Kok Leong said the bunker would be rebuilt within a week.
