More sabo structures to be built to reduce risk of debris floods - PM

The government plans to build more sabo structures across the country in an effort to reduce the risk of debris floods, such as the one that recently occurred in Baling, Kedah.

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the sabo structures would be built across riverbeds to hold debris including boulders, mud and logs, thus slowing down the flow of water and reducing the impact of strong currents, especially after heavy rains.
