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.
