Last Wednesday, Agriculture Minister, Zulfikar Mustapha visited the village of Victoria to meet with farmers to discuss issues affecting them.
During the meeting, farmers made requests for urgent drainage works to be done in the area as heavily silted drains have been leading to severe flooding for years.
Minister Mustapha told the farmers that a machine would be made available within the next three to five days to commence emergency drainage works.
Today, the machine is in the area working to clear the drains. After years of neglect, the farmers of Victoria are now able to benefit from government’s intervention to improve farming in the village.
