Flood mitigation project on hold after Parliament dissolution

The Ministry of Environment and Water (Kasa) has put on hold the procurement process related to the off-budget Flood Mitigation Project (2023-2030) after the Parliament was dissolved on Oct 10.

Kasa said that, during the current administration of the caretaker government, the issuance of the Letter of Intent (LOI), Letter of Invitation, and Letter of Acceptance relating to the project was postponed.

Also put on hold were any form of negotiations with contractors on consultants including for the Sungai Langat Flood Mitigation Plan.

“Kasa always adheres to the relevant rules during this caretaker government’s administration.”

This was in reference to an article about tenders allegedly approved by the caretaker government.

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob on Oct 10 announced the dissolution of the 14th Parliament to make way for the 15th general election (GE15).

Chief Secretary to the Government Mohd Zuki Ali on the same day said the cabinet led by Ismail Sabri will function as the caretaker government.

However, Mohd Zuki said the caretaker government cannot make any policy decisions even though it can still advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on administrative affairs.
