00:00An environmental expert has proposed that evacuation routes be developed and drills
00:06conducted as part of an effort to build flood-resilient communities in Malaysia.
00:11Global Environmental Centre River Care Programme Manager K. Kalidasan said flood drills should
00:16be compulsory at schools, just like fire drills.
00:20Kalidasan also agreed with a recommendation by Japan International Cooperation Agency
00:25to construct high embankments along Malaysia's coastline.
00:29Earlier this month, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who met with his Japanese counterpart Shigeru
00:34Ishiba, agreed to implement a decades-old mitigation project by JICA.
00:39Meanwhile, engineering consultant Adnan Noor said efforts to strengthen the structural
00:44designs of susceptible houses in flood-prone areas should be given priority.
00:49Recently, severe floods struck several states, including Kelantan, Trengganu and Pahang,
00:55leaving seven dead and over 100,000 victims displaced.
