RESIDENTS of Desa Intan flats in Ayer Itam, Penang, are hoping for an additional monsoon drain to be built in the area as a flood mitigation measure.

They claim that several places along Lebuhraya Thean Teik have experienced flash floods since construction began in January on the Ayer Itam–Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway bypass road project, known as Package 2.
