Recently, the drain at the end of Jalan 5/98, has been converted back to an open drain. Years ago, a steel pipe was put into the drain for machinery to move over the drain.
When the inlet of the pipe gets blocked by leaves and rubbish, they clog up the inlet causing the drain water to be stagnant.
This caused stagnant drain water to occur and breeds mosquitos. Dengue cases were also reported.
Hopefully, with the best improved drainage, no more stagnant water will occur.
We want to ask the residents staying near the drain to monitor it and remove any debris from this drain as well. Prevention is better than allowing the drain to be clogged up.
