浮罗池滑区州议员李俊杰说，在槟州政府、槟岛市政厅、他及植物园区 州议员王康立的努力下，丰盛园过去面临的水灾问题如今得以解决。 他指出，早在30年前，一些没有执照的发展商将房屋建在丰盛园天然溪 流之上，并在房屋下建了一条地下水道。 然而，在2017年，由于该房屋遭到地下水道的水侵蚀而倒塌，而这也导 致了水道被阻塞进而引发该地区的水灾问题，而丰盛园就有十多户人家深 受水患影响。 李俊杰表示，在州政府与市政厅商讨后，原本将采取的方案是在丰盛园 水患地区建一个地下通道。然而，这却将涉及一笔巨大的数额并需要原本 的住户搬走，因此，州政府并没有采用这道方案。 他说，后来当丰盛园再面对水道阻塞而导致水灾后，州政府及市政厅便 安装水泵以抽出积水来确保居民不受水灾问题困扰。 于此同时，他也强调，安装水泵虽然可以暂时舒缓问题，但一旦面对豪 雨，丰盛园水灾问题并无法得到根治。 “这是因为，该地区位于山上。一旦下起豪雨，所有的水将流到丰盛园低 洼地区，即便安装了水泵也不堪重负。” 李俊杰：建地下水道分流 他说，最后，在州政府、市政厅、他与植物园区州议员王康立经过多次 的讨论后，终于在去年年尾于丰盛园建了一个地下水道分流，并将水泵移 除，让居民不再为水灾问题而烦恼。 李俊杰与各单位联手解决丰盛园水患问题。 2019年12月16日—31日 要闻 9 佳日星吁善用中央拨款 推动组屋先租后买计划
