DRY SPELL CATCHES UP WITH WETTEST TOWN IN PENINSULA

IPOH, Even the wettest town in Peninsular Malaysia has not escaped the wrath of the current dry spell.

Taiping is visibly affected by the hot weather, and several sections of its Lake Gardens have dried up due to a lack of rainfall over the past two weeks.

Perak Science, Environment and Green Technology Committee chairman Teh Kok Lim, however, reassured the public that this phenomenon is temporary and continuous monitoring is being done by the Taiping Municipal Council (MPT).

‘Similar phenomena have occurred several times before, causing the lake and nearby streams to dry up. Such effects will recover once rainfall resumes.

‘At the same time, MPT is actively monitoring the situation,’ he told Bernama today.

Visuals of several parts of the 133-year-old Lake Gardens drying up have gone viral.

Once a mining site, Taiping Lake Gardens is also the first public park in Malaya and remains a popular destination for both local and international tourists seeking tranquility and natural beauty.

Teh said long-term
mitigation measures are being planned by MPT to minimise and prevent the prolonged effects of the phenomenon.

‘These measures focus on addressing the impacts of climate change while ensuring Taiping Lake Garden remains a popular tourist attraction,’ he said.
