So much for the KRAs and the KPIs of the Works Ministry. We sorely need a SMARTer system for flood prevention in KL, and soon. The authorities should also take into account the impending underground portion of the MRT and make sure it will not be also submerged during heavy downpours!

Sore need for SMARTer system
When I read the news that the latest downpour creates havoc in Jalan Chan Sow Lin KL and how a motorist just managed to escape from his sinking car, I was reminded of the many times the authorities have praised how effective the SMART tunnel was, in alleviating the serious flood situation in KL. I am not sure the owner of the submerged car would think the same. I am actually surprised at the lack of an early warning system that would have saved the owner of the submerged car from a very scary and expensive experience.
