Brace for floods, Kuala Lumpur

Residents of Kuala Lumpur should prepare themselves for a flood, environment and water minister Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said tonight.

“Attention Kuala Lumpur residents. The four main rivers have breached their danger levels; Sg Batu in Sentul, Sg Klang in (Jln) Tun Perak, Sg Gombak in Jln Tun Razak and Sg Kerayong at Razak Mansion,” he said in a Twitter post.

“Be prepared for a high chance of floods.”

He added that those who have any related complaints can contact the operations centre at Kuala Lumpur’s drainage and irrigation department at 03-22028142.

Non-stop rain since Friday has left several areas in the Klang Valley inundated by floodwaters, forcing thousands to evacuate their homes and closing several highways.

Public advised against travelling to Shah Alam and Klang

The public have been advised against travelling to Shah Alam and Klang as floodwaters continue to rise, bringing vehicles to a standstill and leaving many stranded.

Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) said among the flood-affected areas were Kampung Bukit Naga, Kemuning Utama, Kampung Air Kuning and Section 25.

“Residents have been urged to be careful and prepared if instructed to move to flood evacuation centres in the city.

“The public can contact the MBSA Quick Team at 03-55105811 in the event of disasters such as landslides, floods and so on,” it shared on Facebook.
