 //"The Sungai Gombak diversion canal and Sungai Batu flood retention pond system are the brainchild of the Japan International Corporation Co-operation Agency (Jica) which carried out a study in 1989 on the feasibility of the projects. The spokesman said the study recommended the building of the canal and several retention ponds and that the projects be completed by next year. The canal located between Sungai Gombak and Sungai Batu, is part of the Klang Valley flood mitigation roject which is expected to cost RM1 billion by the time it is completed in 2007. Earlier, FT DID director Tan Jiak Kim said the scheme was designed to reduce flooding and improve existing river and drainage systems without affecting the environment. About 50 per cent of the project has been completed. He said experts predicted that a major disaster like the 1971 floods, which hit the Klang Valley and caused RM35 million in damages, would recurr once every 100 years. "Work on Sungai Batu includes the Batu retention pond project which is actually divided into three ponds - a retention pond, recreation pond and regulation pond - all covering 68.3ha of disused mining pools." Tan said the ponds would act as a buffer to hold excess water during
-heavy rain. "Water chanelled from Sungai Gombak will be released into the ponds periodically to prevent flooding in low-lying areas." He added that under the dam construction component of the flood mitigation project, a dam was to be built for Sungai Gombak in an area along the Karak Highway. "However, due to protests from some people the project was shelved, he said. Tan said the site for the proposed dam had been taken over for the construction of the new International Islamic University campus which would be completed by the middle of the year. The construction of the RM19.7 million Batu Dam in 1987 and the raising of the Klang Gate Dam by three metres at a cost of RM3.4 million in 1980 were also part of the dam construction component of the flood mitigation project for the Klang Valley."// (Sager Ahmad @ New Straits Times, 27 Februari 1996: {{ :akhbar:nst-1996-02-27-klangvalley-diversion-canal.pdf ||}}[[https://books.google.com.my/books?id=0Y8yAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA26&article_id=4924,2078435|"Klang Valley diversion canal held up"]]).

 ==== Kesan Pembinaan Empangan Batu Terhadap Warga Temuan ====
 //"In Malaysia, Colin Nicholas from the Centre for Orang Asli Concerns affirms that none of the Orang Asli communities displaced by dams in seven areas in the country have been adequately compensated. “The Orang Asli affected by the Temenggor Dam are still, after 18 years, waiting to be compensated. The Temuans from Sungai Batu who were moved for the Batu Dam still have not received the RM500 compensation they were each promised for their huts.” he said at a Press Conference to announce the launch of S.O.S. Selangor, a coalition of 29 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) opposed to the building of the Sungai Selangor Dam. In the case of the Selangor Dam project that might soon be underway, that Nicholas says although the Temuans of Gerachi and Pertak will receive land as compensation, there will be a 70 percent loss of what they now have."// (Sarah Sabaratnam @ New Straits Times, 27 July 1999: {{ :akhbar:1999-07-27-05-rethink-dam-plan.pdf ||}}[[https://books.google.com.my/books?id=EfdOAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA23&article_id=6864,4327865|"Rethink dam plan"]]).

+//"PANG HIN YUE: "For the first time in my eight years as a journalist, I cried. Never had I seen such poverty. Such helplessness. There was this frail woman, Seri, widowed With eight sickly children, with no food or money. How I wished I could take away some of her pain. Her personal tragedy of being forced off her ancestral land inspired my colleague Sarah Sabaratnam and I to write, like we had never done before. about what can happen when development fails to take into account the people it affects. Seri and the rest of the Orang Asli community displaced by the Batu Dam 15 years ago have yet to taste the fruits of development. Until we ran our first story, their children did not have access to education. The story of Seri and her family became our starting point when we got wind of an impending dam in Selangor. Would the mistake of Batu Dam be repeated With the proposed Sungai Selangor Dam? For three weeks, we worked day and night. We made repeated trips to Kuala Kubu Baru. We went to the two Orang Asli villages there. We listened to what the local community had to say. We hounded the State Assemblyman. We cornered the Selangor Menteri Besar. We talked to experts on dams, river management and water resources. We networked with Malaysians who share similar concerns. Of course, we also talked to the dam developers. It was not difficult to write the stories which came in three instalments because we wrote from our heart. And with our editor who shared our vision and passion, we pursued the issue with all our might. We felt encouraged when the feedback came in. Shortly after highlighting Seri's plight, we were told that the Jabatan Hal Ehwal Orang Asli made arrangements to take Seri's children to school. We had calls from people who were touched by the story. Some offered to donate money. Some wanted to know how they can help stop the dam. We also ruffled a few feathers, but we know a story works when it moves people. Although we do not know whether the dam will be built, at least we can say we tried to deliver the stories as honestly as we could."// (New Straits Times, 13 Oktober 1999: {{ :akhbar:nst-1999-10-13-writingfromtheirhearts.pdf ||}}[[https://books.google.com.my/books?id=duROAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA23&article_id=5839,5471970|"Writing from their hearts"]]).
 //"Mak Minah Anggong was an accomplished ceremonial (asli) singer, musician, mother, grandmother and dam activist from Kampung Peretak. ... I remembered, too, how she experienced a deep sense of sorrow when she saw her fellow Temuans resettled at Sungai Tua as a result of the Batu Dam or those from Sepang resettled at Bukit Cheeding, "Look at how these people live, so congested and with no forests and rivers!""// (Carol Yong @ Malaysiakini, Sept 29, 2000: {{ :akhbar:tribute_to_mak_minah.pdf ||}}[[http://www.magickriver.net/tribute.htm|"A tribute to Mak Minah"]]).
