Culverts were temporarily placed in the drain to facilitate efforts to install the sheet piles.
The Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) hopes to mitigate the flood woes in several Penampang neighbourhoods, including Taman Golfview, once repairs on a monsoon drain, along Jalan Bundusan, have been completed.
A DID spokeswoman estimated that about 20 per cent of the work, which began in the second week of March, remained to be done.
“The weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances, we tentatively expect to wrap everything up by the middle of May,” she said on April 30.

THE Penampang District Council is weighing the possibility of improving the drainage in Taman Millennium Heights, following a complaint about the flash floods which occur when it rains heavily.
A spokesman for the agency said the administration would deliberate over the feasibility of rebuilding the housing drains and some of the roads in the neighbourhood which is located off Jalan Bundusan.
“Should we decide to proceed, then we will have to source for funds to implement this plan,” he said.
