Heavy rain causes floods and landslips in PJ

Waterlogged: The private road that leads into the new Taman Buana Perdana was inundated with water, slowing down traffic in the area.

RESIDENTS along Jalan Buana Perdana in Taman Buana Perdana, PJS 3, were hit by floods, with roads leading into the area inundated after a downpour on Friday.

Parts of the private access road leading into the housing area were still flooded as late as 9.30pm that night.

Quick Reaction Team (QRT) personnel from the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) arrived at the scene at about 6pm to help clear debris and uprooted trees blocking the access road.

Police personnel were also at hand to manage traffic.

At one point, police had to cordon off the roads leading into the housing area as motorists faced problems exiting the housing area, especially via the private access road.

"We could not see the road, the divider and the concrete kerb," said Jalan 3/26 resident Norisam Kamarudin.

"The floodwaters started rising at about 4.30pm and soon the whole road was under water. Luckily, the water only reached our front yard and did not flood the interior of our home," said Norisam.

Taman Buana Perdana residents' association committee member Roshen Raj, who has lived in the area for six years, said the housing area experienced flashfloods at least two or three times a year.

"But this time it is really bad. Even the playground was flooded with rubbish floating about," he said.

Petaling Jaya Selatan Wanita MCA division deputy chief Datin Wong Fong Leng, who visited the area at about 8pm, said the flooding was due to clogged drains at the entrance into Taman Buana Perdana.

Clearing the way: A backhoe and high pressure hoses were needed to clear Jalan 5/60 on Saturday after the landslide.

It is believed construction works further along the private access road had aggravated the situation with debris clogging the drains.

"Last August, I wrote to MBPJ to complain about the clogged drains and the council workers cleaned them. For a while there were no problems but it has started again," said Wong.

Other parts of Petaling Jaya were also affected by the downpour.

These included parts of Taman Dato Harun (PJS 2), with trees uprooted, while a landslip occurred along Jalan 5/60 in Bukit Gasing.

MBPJ's Landscape department contractors had to be called in to help clear the fallen trees off Jalan 5/60 while Engineering and Mechanical Department personnel had to use a backhoe and high-pressure hoses to clean up the mess.

Shot in the arm for public hospitals

China is restructuring its healthcare as it considers this the countrys most important strategic investment for the future. PUBLIC hospitals should allocate more of their medical resources to the ordinary people rather than set up special or VIP medical centres for the rich, some policymakers told Chinas parliament session in March. Of course, rich people have the freedom to buy premium service, but they should get it from private hospitals, said Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference representative Feng Shiliang. This is fair comment as many provincial and city-level government hospitals offer VIP services where those who can pay are given preference for treatment. Last year, the Chinese Health Ministry introduced a healthcare reform aimed at establishing a medical care system that is affordable and exceptional in service. The restructuring, however, has been hampered by high medical costs and lack of good community hospitals and health insurance coverage. Past reforms ...

Keffiyah Yahudi ~ Usaha puak Zionis Israel untuk menyaingi Keffiyah Arafat

'Perang Budaya dan Lambang Muslim' oleh Mahaguru58 Simbolisma pemakaian Keffiyah Allahyarham Yasser Arafat oleh warga dunia Barat begitu menyakitkan hati para pemuka Yahudi rejim haram Zionis Israel dan kaum kerabat Yahudi di Amerika Syarikat sehingga memaksa mereka untuk merekacipta Keffiyah simbolisma mereka pulak! Begitu hebat sekali peranan yang dimainkan oleh lambang identiti perjuangan Arab Palestin sehingga pemakaian kain Keffiyah Arafat menusuk jiwa dan minda para penyokong Zionis Israel didalam kehidupan seharian mereka baik di tanah jajahan rejim haram Israel dibumi Palestin mahupun di Amerika. Berhati hatilah wahai umat Islam dari tersalah beli corak kain kaffiyeh Zionis Israel dengan lambang dan corak bintang segi enam Yahudi @ Star of David seperti didalam gambar sebelah. Para pembenci perjuangan orang orang Arab Palestin dari kalangan Yahudi Israel dan Amerika Syarikat kini melancarkan perang saraf terhadap lambang kain kaffiyyah Arafat dengan mempromosikan lamban...
