Floods at several points in the Makassar City area, for example, every year pose a threat and danger to the lives of residents, especially on protocol and national roads, such as along the South Sulawesi Governor's Office, Fly Over Jalan AP Pettarani, and others.

In this regard, he advised the central and regional governments together with the legislature to think about handling flood inundation at these two strategic points. He said that local governments have had a concept so far, but have been slow to implement it, especially if the road is a national road, of course it requires budget lobbying and a time-consuming lobbying mechanism.
