Addressing Urban Flooding in Malaysia with MSMA and On-Site Detention Solutions The frequency and intensity of storms have been increasing globally, and Malaysia is feeling the impact. Climate change has led to more severe weather events, resulting in flash floods and strong winds that cause widespread property damage and, tragically, loss of life. To manage these growing risks, the Manual Saliran Mesra Alam Malaysia (MSMA), or Urban Stormwater Drainage Design Procedure for Malaysia, was introduced by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran Malaysia or JPS). This manual serves as the official guideline for stormwater management and is legally required for all drainage system designs in the country. A central feature of MSMA is the principle of control-at-source, which focuses on managing stormwater runoff where it originates. Two key control measures promoted by MSMA are: On-Site Detention (OSD) systems Detention basins or ponds However, engineers frequently encounter challenges when applying these methods in real-world projects. These challenges include: High construction and implementation costs Difficulty in allocating adequate land space Technical and compliance-related complexities Moreover, there is a notable lack of comprehensive references, design tools, and software to assist in the design of OSD systems and detention facilities. This gap underscores the need for targeted training and practical guidance for engineers and planners. To fill this need, Ir. Dr. Quek Keng Hong, a recognized expert on MSMA, has been conducting specialized workshops since 2000. His sessions have trained thousands of Malaysian engineers, providing essential skills and technical knowledge for MSMA-compliant stormwater designs. These workshops offer: Hands-on learning using real-world case studies Laptop-based training with Excel spreadsheet templates Detailed modules on erosion and sediment control planning (ESCP) Practical applications of hydrologic and hydraulic modeling for urban drainage systems Engineers leave these sessions equipped with the tools and know-how to design efficient, cost-effective, and compliant stormwater solutions that meet JPS standards.
