KUALA LUMPUR: The country needs to pay serious attention to the impact of rising global temperatures of above 1.1 degrees Celsius which results in climate change such as dry season and frequent floods, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Prime Minister said the matter was emphasised at the Third Meeting of the National Water Council 2021 which he chaired virtually.

He said the meeting also emphasised the water sector transformation agenda - carried out under the 12th Malaysia Plan to 15MP - that would make the water sector an economic enabler and a generator of dynamic growth by 2040. "Disruption to these facilities or components will affect the entire flood mitigation system which includes the main components, namely the rivers and retention ponds," he added.
