Tackling Malaysia’s Urban Flooding: The Importance of MSMA and On-Site Detention Design In recent years, the intensity of storms has been rising across the globe, and Malaysia is no exception. Driven by the effects of global warming, the country is experiencing more frequent flash floods and stronger windstorms—often resulting in significant damage to property and tragic loss of life. To mitigate these growing threats, the Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia (Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran Malaysia or JPS) has developed and published a comprehensive guideline known as the Manual Saliran Mesra Alam Malaysia (MSMA), or the Urban Stormwater Drainage Design Procedure for Malaysia. Under current regulations, all drainage designs must comply with MSMA requirements. One of the key strategies outlined in the manual is control-at-source, which focuses on managing stormwater where it falls—before it becomes a flood risk. This includes the use of On-Site Detention (OSD) systems and the construction of detention basins or ponds. However, implementing these solutions is not without challenges. Engineers in Malaysia often face practical obstacles such as: High construction and maintenance costs Limited land availability for detention infrastructure Technical complexities in design and compliance Adding to the difficulty is the limited availability of local references, engineering tools, and reliable software for the design of OSD systems and detention basins. There’s a clear and growing demand for specialized training and guidance in this area. That’s where Ir. Dr. Quek Keng Hong comes in. As a leading authority on MSMA, Dr. Quek has been conducting technical workshops on the subject since 2000. These sessions have trained thousands of engineers across Malaysia, offering practical, hands-on experience with MSMA-compliant design practices. Participants in Dr. Quek’s workshops benefit from: Real-world case studies to apply design principles Step-by-step guidance using Excel-based spreadsheet templates In-depth training on erosion and sediment control planning (ESCP) Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling for urban stormwater systems The workshops are laptop-based and geared toward equipping engineers with the tools and knowledge needed to secure project approvals and meet compliance standards effectively.

Rising Storm Intensities and the Role of MSMA in Malaysia Globally, storm intensities have been increasing—and Malaysia is no exception. This upward trend is largely attributed to the impacts of global warming. As a result, the country has experienced more frequent flash floods and stronger wind events, both of which have led to significant property damage and even loss of life. To address these challenges, the Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia (Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran Malaysia or JPS) introduced a national guideline known as the Urban Stormwater Drainage Design Procedure for Malaysia, or more commonly, the Manual Saliran Mesra Alam Malaysia (MSMA). By law, all engineers designing drainage systems in Malaysia are required to comply with the standards outlined in the MSMA. A core objective of MSMA is to reduce flash flooding through control-at-source measures. These include the implementation of On-Site Detention (OSD) systems and the construction of detention basins or ponds. However, applying these measures on the ground isn’t always straightforward. Engineers often face practical challenges, including high construction costs, space constraints for land allocation, and complex technical design issues. Despite the growing importance of these designs, there remains a lack of comprehensive references, design tools, and specialized software to aid engineers in effectively implementing OSD and detention systems. This highlights an urgent need for targeted training and educational resources. Thankfully, there is help available. Renowned MSMA expert Ir. Dr. Quek Keng Hong has been conducting in-depth workshops on MSMA since 2000. His training sessions have benefitted thousands of engineers, providing them with the technical knowledge required to meet JPS standards for OSD and detention basin design. These workshops are hands-on and practical, using real case studies and Excel spreadsheet templates on laptops to guide participants. In addition to OSD optimization, the sessions also cover: Preparation of Erosion and Sediment Control Plans (ESCP) Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modelling for Urban Drainage Systems Interested in learning more? ????

The storm intensities world-wide including in Malaysia have been on a rising trend due to the effects of global warming. Associated with it are frequent occurrence of flash floods and high wind velocities causing extensive damage to properties and loss of life. The “Urban Stormwater Drainage Design Procedure for Malaysia” or the “Manual Saliran Mesra Alam Malaysia” (abbreviated as MSMA) is the drainage design guideline published by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia (Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran Malaysia or JPS). It is required by law for engineers to design drainage system to comply with the requirements of MSMA. One of the objectives of MSMA is to mitigate flash floods in Malaysia by control-at-source. Among the options for control-at-source include the construction of On-Site Detention (OSD) and Detention basins or ponds. Review the practical difficulties faced by Malaysian engineers in the application of MSMA to the design of on-site detention (OSD) and detention basins including costs, land reserve requirements, and other technical and design problems. Currently, there is a shortage of references, tools and software for the design of on-site detention (OSD) and detention basins. There is an urgent need for courses and training workshops in these subject areas. Fortunately, there is a series of regular workshops on MSMA conducted by Ir. Dr. Quek Keng Hong who is a renowned expert on MSMA in Malaysia. The workshops provide technical training for engineers on technical requirements by JPS on on-site detention (OSD) and detention basins. Since 2000, thousands have attended his workshops on MSMA. In the workshops, participants learn via practical hands-on case studies on how to Optimize the design of On-Site Detention (OSD) and Detention Basins to meet the requirements of the approving authorities. The workshops are conducted with laptop PC and Excel spreadsheet templates. The workshops also include training on: Preparation of Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP), Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modelling for Urban Drainage System.
