Floods evidence of unsustainable progress

The recent flash floods in KL is proof of the poor planning and mismanagement of environmental affairs in the Klang Valley area.
Personally, I believe that the impact of decreasing size and number of catchment areas and the rampant development of the concrete jungle in and around the Klang Valley area is the primary cause of the flash floods that we have been experiencing in the past decade.
Building 'smart' tunnels and excess drainage catchment zones are temporary solutions to what may become a long-term problem.
