With these technologies in place, the capacity to detain water during heavy downpour or runoff has been enhanced. Additionally, Petaling Jaya city has also built special drainage systems for the Kota Damansara as described below specifically through the Special Area Plan of Kwasa Land, a statutory development plan prepared under the Town And Country Planning Act 1976 (Act 172) which is a Federal Law that applies to Petaling Jaya.1) Proposed River upgrade for Sungai Rumput (Sungai is river in Malay language).Geographically, Sungai Rumput is the river that separates the catchment area of Kwasa Damansara PJ within the east and west. The Sungai Rumput stream originates from Kota Damansara city and subsequently crosses through Kwasa Damansara PJ before finally releasing into the Sungai Damansara to the south. Meanwhile, the river streams of Sungai Paku and Sungai Payung are also released into Sungai Damansara. Thereby, the upgrading of Sungai Paku, Sungai Payung and Sungai Rumput is essential through widening the river i.e. adding depth, planting landscape plants in river banks and apply the concept of ‘Bio‑ Engineering Techniques’ completely. The river system in the PJ catchment area will be provided with a network of catchment and retention ponds before being released into bodies of water such as the proposed design set by the Department of Drainage and Drainage (DID). This proposal is subject to the relevant bodies and agencies involved such as DID and Selangor Water Management Authority (LUAS).2) The Bio Ecods Drainage System Proposal. The Bio Ecods Drainage system has the ability to control the flow rate of surface runoff through various mechanisms such as the use of transparent ‘swale’ for reducing the flow rate of surface water runoff. This is because the proposed system is supported by a ‘On Site Detention ’ pond which aims to temporarily store surface water runoff time at the reserve site. Thereby , the Bio ‑ Ecods acts as an integrated technology platform with a ‘Wetland’ system and function Bio ‑ Ecods channels are intended to control cliff erosion through a combination of plant usage combined with building materials. Drainage or surface water runoff emissions from each development will be channeled through this system into the catchment pond.

Adaptation3.0Please describe the main actions you are taking to reduce the risk to, and vulnerability of, your city’s infrastructure, services, citizens, and businesses from climate change as identified in the Climate Hazards section.8Action description and implementation progress2A total of 229 slopes in Selangor are identified as critical and require immediate action by local authorities (PBTs) involved in the state. In Petaling Jaya, about 13 slopes require critical action. Consequently, Petaling Jaya is monitoring according to the method recommended by the inhouse engineering department together with the support of external geotechnical consultants. In this regard, Petaling Jaya city council has allocated financial provisions to outsource the maintenance of these slopes to external consultants as they do not have sufficient expertise.

The project was the first phase undertaken by the Selangor Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) and was completed recently. In recent times, the 50-year-old village has suffered from bad flash floods. On Oct 9, of 2019 , the water rose up to 1.52m, resulting in villagers incurring material losses. Majority of the persons most affected are villagers staying near the river who comprised those from the B40 group (30%). The departments concerned have cleared about 30 cm to 1 meter of soil from the river to assist in the river cleaning at various time throughout the years. Overall, the rock demolition work cost about RM 300,000. The Department of Irrigation and Drainage is expected to receive funds of up to RM20 million budget from the state government for further flood mitigation work in the Kayu Ara river in the future.

In order to support this initiative, the council intends to plant 1 million trees altogether. This year alone, the council has planted 230,095 trees all around the city. The tree planting is also done as part of a CSR drive by the private sector together with the help of the council.

The council receives between 10 and 15 applications per month to start a Kebun Kita (Our Farm) programme in various neighbourhoods, The council will only approve the applications after thorough vetting, which includes looking into whether there is an active residents group in that area and the project’s sustainability. The pioneer gardens are located in Section 10 Kota Damansara, Kampung Lindungan, PJS 6 and Taman Medan. It will soon be expanded to Desa Mentari. There are 18 “active” gardens in Petaling Jaya, with five more expected to be added in 2020. The size of each garden varies, with the present ones ranging from 120sq m to 2,000sq m. Unused or vacant land, such as utility or government land (subject to certain conditions), are turned into these community gardens. A community keen on participating has to first get an approval letter from the site’s landowner. For example, if the proposed site is on Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) reserve land, the community has to get approval from TNB who is the land owner. After receiving the landowner’s approval, the community has to submit an application to Petaling Jaya City Council, via their registered residents association, stating the proposed location and agricultural activities. Officers from the Landscape Department will then conduct a site visit to check on the site’s suitability and soil conditions. Basically, the community had to use their own funds for their Kebun Kita project, such as preparing the site or buying gardening tools, seeds, soil and fertilizers. The Landscape Department’s role is only to give technical advice and basic training whenever needed. Funding can be acquired through either their respective residents association, corporate social responsibility contributions or MBPJ’s PJ SEED (Social, Environment, Economy Development) community grant. Furthermore, the community also has the freedom to plant vegetables, fruits or herbs, or even rear fish such as keli, puyu and pink tilapia using aquaponic tanks. They are also free to decide how to distribute the produce whether for personal consumption or to sell. One of the best project is the Section 8 PPR Flats community where the residents allocate some produce for a soup kitchen project to feed poor families in their neighborhood. The Taman Medan community’s vegetable crops and fish are used for residents’ consumption, while the balance is sold. Additionally, the Kebun Kita communities were required to submit monthly reports on their activities, harvest inventories and sales (if any) for the Landscape Department to monitor the programme’s development through data collection and annual assessment. Kebun Kita is in fact a rebranding of an earlier programme and run with the assistance of related government agencies as well as non-governmental organisations (NGO). The contributions from NGOs vary. They include monetary, in-kind (tools or seedlings) and community engagement gotong-royong activities). Kebun Kita had won awards such as Malaysia Landscape Architecture Awards 2018 and 2019, Selangor Research and Development and Innovation Expo 2019, and World Town Planning Day 2018 and 2019. The local council presented the Kebun Kita at a Basic Urban Farming Programme for Urban B40 Group organised by Selangor socioeconomic empowerment, development and caring government committee chairman V. Ganabatirau’s team in collaboration with MBPJ. The one-day event was aimed at educating the more than 100 participants on the basics of urban farming and agriculture, and offering them an opportunity to earn an income to support their families. https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news/2021/05/20/mbpj-community-seed-funding-grant-now-open-for-application
