    It’s good to see WASA is active, but the power disruptions are also a major issue. Are there any plans to make the electricity feeders more resilient against heavy rain in the future?

    It is a relief to read that the water flow in Nullah Lai remains within normal levels. This suggests some of the existing flood management infrastructure is holding up, which is good news.
