“With a scarcity of trees and undergrowth in Sungai Petani, the stagnated water could not be absorbed and retained within the greenery.”“When there are signs of high coastal erosion, the authorities must evacuate the area’s residents, as their safety is at risk. This is because seawater can corrode steel pilings and the steel reinforcement bar in the concrete foundation of structures built along coastlines.
