Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is planning to construct a third sedimentation pond to address recurring flooding issues at a development site in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI). The decision follows a flash flood on April 18, 2026, which inundated the area and nearby roads after heavy rain.
Federal Territories Minister Dr. Zaliha Mustafa chaired an urgent meeting on April 19, 2026, with DBKL, the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID), and other agencies. The meeting reviewed mitigation measures, including the immediate construction of the additional pond to improve water flow and silt control from the hillside project.
DBKL Mayor Datuk Kamarulzaman Mat Salleh stated that the developer has been instructed to expedite this work. Other directives include increasing the capacity of existing drainage systems and ensuring strict compliance with erosion and sediment control plans. Authorities are monitoring the site to prevent further incidents.
