SHAH ALAM, April 25 — The Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has formed a strategic partnership with the Subang National Golf Club (KGNS) on a critical drainage upgrade project aimed at mitigating flood risks along Jalan SS 7/2 in Kelana Jaya.
In a Facebook post, MBPJ said this collaboration is a proactive action to strengthen flood mitigation efforts in high-risk areas.
The collaboration was cemented through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by Petaling Jaya Mayor Dato’ Mohamad Zahri Samingon and KGNS vice-president Abdul Majid Md Yusof, witnessed by MBPJ Engineering Department senior assistant director (assets) Mohd Aswardi Kong Mohd Azizi Kong and KGNS captain Lee Say Yong.
