（兵南邦12日讯）兵南邦今日再次遭受洪水袭击，虽然没有比 2021 年 9 月 15 日的洪水严重，但足以为居民和业主造成困扰。 周二清晨的一场强风大雨造成兵南邦地区洪水，主要受灾地区包括Kibabaig、Kolopis、Penampang Proper、Nambazan、Sugud、Maang、Donggongon 镇、Hungab、Nosoob、Bundusan 和其他几个地区。 兵南邦与摩约人民服务中心对这几个地方进行了检查，以了解自9月15日上次大洪水以来，政府机构是否已经清理了排水沟和河流。 “我们已经亲自向水利灌溉局（DID）、兵南邦区工程部，和兵南邦县议会反映了排水和河流清理工作，需要迅速清除所有河流和排水沟中的重物，避免大雨时发声阻塞。兵南邦国会议员达勒雷京的政治秘书普里查德·甘巴里斯强调。 经检查，河流仍被先前洪水造成的大量泥石流堵塞，沿河可在 Sugud、Maang 和Kibabaig 看到。 “根据水利灌溉局的说法，他们只有在财政援助申请获得农业部批准后才能进行河流清理。已经快一个月了，仍然没有看到水利灌溉局进行河流清理工作。首相已经宣布拨款1860万令吉来应对最近的水灾，为何还要等待财政部批准？”普里查德说。 “据 水利灌溉局过去的报道，根据 摩约防洪计划1 以及我们与水利灌溉局的最后一次会面，包括在 Tunoh 地区进行的现场检查，将兵南邦消防局后面的排水系统扩大到 Padimas 排水系统，以帮助减轻 Donggongon 镇、Hungab 和 Tunoh 地区的洪水，但直到今天 水利灌溉局仍未完成这些项目。”普里查德说。 在 2019 和 2020 年，兵南邦县议会设立了防洪项目，成员包括所有乡区领袖，村长、地方当局、兵南邦议会办公室、地区办公室和兵南邦县议会。该委员会的成立是为了协调村庄排水清洁，包括政府机构下的所有排水。这是为了确保排水系统中没有可能堵塞排水口的碎屑。该委员会预计将于 2023 年完成的 摩约防洪项目。 “ 洪水问题不仅严重影响了人们的生活、工业和商业活动，还对整体经济和营商环境造成了负面影响，尤其是Jalan Bundusan。这是一个由轻工业、商业建筑、仓库和住宅楼组成的一个主要的商业区，对沙巴的经济做出了很大贡献。然而，由于兵南邦尚未解决的洪水问题，生态系统受到了影响，许多企业不得不因这些问题而面临大量的意外损失。” “ 根据我们收到的投诉，Jalan Bundusan 的企业已面对超过 300 万令吉的损失。损失主要原因是库存损失、仓库结构性损坏、维修和清理费用等。” 他强调，大家正在重建沙巴的经济，同时也面对疫情肆虐。恶劣的天气/气候变化事件以及基本基础设施管理不善，也让当地企业面临影响。他希望相关部门可以同情沙巴人民，除了解决现有问题外，也应该提倡适当的计划，不要只用媒体宣布解决方案以防止问题发生。实际上，大家必须尽一切努力确保洪水不会再次发生。…
