KUALA LUMPUR: The Selangor state government will allow the development of Canal City to go ahead, despite the need to review some of the details regarding its effectiveness as a flood mitigation project with the developers, said Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim.
According to Khalid, the review is needed as the state government felt that canals were not the most viable solution to alleviate floods in the southern part of Selangor. He felt that the construction of retention ponds would be more appropriate.
“The canals may be able to prevent floods in the city itself, but ultimately could overflow rivers and cause flooding in other parts of the states. Our view is that the property development and flood mitigation work must go hand in hand to ensure the success of the project,” Khalid said after the dialogue session with Japanese investors here yesterday.
The RM10 billion-project essentially was mandated to Kumpulan Europlus Bhd (KEuro), a company where IJM Corp has an associate stake.
Separately, IJM Corp and KEuro has estsblished a joint-venture company to undertake the RM10 billion Canal City project which is essentially a property development over 1,983 hectares (4,900 acres) in Kuala Selangor. In return for getting the land from the state, the joint venture is to undertake a flood mitigation project for Selangor.
So far, the joint venture has invested some RM130 million in the construction of ponds and canals, resettlement expenses for the Orang Asli in the area and land acquisitions.

Cakap banyak dan batalkan Projek Canal City tapi kerajaan PKR/PH Selangor tiada menyelesaikan masaalah banjir teruk setiap tahun sejak 2008.
Bukankah terusan buatan manusia sepanjang 18km yang dirancang dibina oleh kerajaan UMNO/BN Selangor dulu dalam Projek Canal City sama spt kolam air tadahan yang panjang dan besar, iaitu ia boleh menakung banyak air hujan lebat dari kawasan2 hulu Sungai Klang dan Sungai Langat dari risiko membanjiri kawasan2 hilir sungai spt di Taman Sri Muda dan bandar Klang, iaitu macam SMART Tunnel di KL.?
Projek Canal City mungkin dapat mencegah banjir kilat spt di Yan, Kedah baru2 ini, yang kedudukannya macam Taman Sri Muda, iaitu di hilir sungai. .......
Perspektif PNSB berhubung Canal City

Berikutan laporan media mengenai penjualan tanah Tropicana kepada Eco World Development Group Berhad. Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad (PNSB) ingin memberikan perspektif mengenai penjualan tanah ’Canal City’ kepada Dijaya Corporation Berhad (Tropicana Corporation) pada tahun 2013.
Pada asalnya, tanah seluas 1,172.28 ekar ini merupakan sebahagian tanah bagi pembangunan Projek Tebatan Banjir (PTB).
Namun projek ini dibatalkan kerana hasil daripada laporan kajian ‘desktop study’ daripada Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS) Negeri Selangor memutuskan adalah tidak perlu untuk membangunkan projek tebatan banjir kerana keupayaan bagi kolam-kolam takungan banjir sedia ada adalah mencukupi.
Dan pembatalan projek ini telah dipersetujui oleh Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri (MMKN) pada tahun 2010. ...
Justeru, Lembaga Pengarah PNSB dengan syor Pengurusan PNSB bersetuju Dijaya Corporation Berhad ditawarkan tender RFP tersebut dan menerima tawaran pulangan minima berjumlah RM1.297 billion. ...
= nampaknya alasan yang diguna oleh kerajaan PKR/PH Selangor untuk membatal Projek Canal City pada 2010 tiada memberi manafaat kepada Rakyat Selangor untuk mencegah banjir teruk, spt banjir teruk yang melanda Hulu Langat dan Taman Sri Muda pada 18 Dis 2021, ... melainkan .memberi banyak keuntungan RM bilion2 kepada syarikat Menteri Besar Inc sejak 2010.

BEIJING: A massive canal city with a self-contained township comprising residential, commercial and tourism development with interconnected canal waterways will be built in Selangor.
The RM3bil project is being undertaken by Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd, the investment arm of the state government, and Kumpulan Europlus Bhd via Canal City Construction Sdn Bhd.
The proposed canal city would cover about 5,400 acres of land to be developed into a waterfront city.
The company has secured the participation of the Shimao Group, through the purchase of about 1,300 acres of land, within the Canal City project, which is located near Putrajaya.
The Shanghai-based Shimao Group, which is one of China’s leading property developers, undertook the signing of the sales and purchase agreement here in conjunction with the visit of Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
Deputy chairman Tan Sri Chan Ah Chye signed on behalf of the Malaysian group with Mr Hui Wing Mau, the chairman of the Shimao Group.
One of the Shimao Group’s projects is the Shimao Rivera Garden, where a total of RM3.6bil was channelled into investments to build a series of high-rise luxurious residential towers overlooking the Huangpu River in Shanghai.
The project was ranked No. 1 in the Shanghai property market for the year 2001 and 2002.
According to a press release, through the partnership, Shimao Group would invest about RM450mil in the purchase of land.
The sale of the land and development of the project would be used to finance the construction of two infrastructure projects.
They are the construction of the network of canals connecting the Klang River to the Kuala Langat River as part of a flood mitigation scheme in Selangor.
“A by-product of this construction project is the creation of a canal city occupying an area of about 5,400 acres,” it said.
It would finance the Shah Alam 2 Expressway connecting Shah Alam to Berjuntai Bistari, to be renamed Shah Alam 2.
“The 40km toll-free expressway will reduce travelling time from Shah Alam to Shah Alam 2 to about 23 minutes,” it added.

... A new leader promising a better mousetrap hired a minister to find a better solution to the problem of flooding; the previous Minister for Waterworks, a certain Minister Gun, had in fact been held responsible for the violent floods during his tenure, and ended up paying the ultimate price for his 9 seasons of failure: he was executed!
The new Minister for Waterworks, Minister Yu, decided to try something else: out were dams; in were diversionary canals, i.e., canals that could divert the overflow elsewhere, as well as serve as reservoirs in their own right. The new flood control strategy worked so well that Minister Yu became a national hero, and, as so often happens – from Roman times down to the present – the famous general who wins the war becomes such a hero that he ends up scoring his boss' job, which is precisely what happened in the case of Minister Yu, who became Emperor Yu, or Yu the Great. ....
Eastern Zhou Dynasty - 600BC
... For example, a dam might be designed to lightly flood a valley (with numerous reservoirs and sluices to regulate the water level) so that rice could be grown there. Reservoirs could hold water to be used to get through shorter drought periods, while canals could divert water to specific locales instead of having to flood entire areas. PM Sun made use of all of these tools to address the agricultural problems he faced. Much later, Sun Shu-Ao was recognized as China's first hydraulic engineer. ....
The ingenious practice of diverting the overflow of the Yellow River via flood canals continued down through the Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties (CE 907-960) period. ...
Song Dynasty - 1200AD
... Thus the Han Chinese tradition of flood control via the construction of diversionary canals continued, though on the Yangtze River instead. ...
These flood control measures would naturally continue on both drainage systems during most of the remainder of China's dynastic period, with greater zeal during periods of peace, i.e., during periods of unification, which was largely the case after the emergence of the Yuan (CE 1279-1368) Dynasty. Of course, parallel with the notion of flood canals, China continued to build dams on rivers as a way to contain them, or so it was hoped. ...
Ancient Chinese Waterworks
Two famous, ancient – but still functioning – Chinese waterworks, one a dam and the other a canal system, are:
Dujiangyan Dam – a diversionary canal (irrigation canal) system, originally built in BCE 256 during the Warring States period on the Min River in Sichuan Province, near the capital, Chengdu.
Mulan Dam (Reservoir [木蘭陂]) – originally built in CE 1064 as a dam across the Mulan River in Fujian Province near the city of Putian, ...

- The Giant Underground Tunnels Protecting Tokyo From Floods - 1,572,632 views - Jul 8, 2019
Projek Tangki/Terowong ini terletak 60km/1 jam perjalanan ke utara Tokyo dan kosnya US$3 billion/RM12 bilion pada 2000an. Ia berjaya mencegah atau mengurangkan banjir kilat di kawasan yang terjejas dulu, iaitu 130,000 hektar sehingga 7 kali setahun.
.
Jadi, kerajaan PKR/PR/PH Selangor sepatutnya sudah awal2 ada projek2 mencegah atau mengurangkan banjir kilat, spt projek Jepun di atas dan Terowong SMART di KL, dan bukannya hanya tahu batalkan Projek Bandar TERUSAN(Canal City) pada 2010. Adakah perbuatan ini hanya sebagai membangkang kerajaan pusat UMNO/BN dan main politik kerana pada masa itu ramai penduduk2 Selangor sokong pembatalan Projek Bandar TERUSAN.?
