Puncak Alam UiTM hit by floods

A series of heavy rain showers late in the afternoon led to flash flooding in several areas surrounding the Puncak Alam campus of Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) in Kuala Selangor. The rising water levels disrupted traffic and prompted updates from concerned residents on social media platform Threads. One user, nis0piee, posted videos displaying the campus bus area submerged up to calf height, expressing it was their first encounter with such flooding.

Another user, afiqqqdaniel, shared footage of muddy water overflowing onto a road believed to be on campus grounds. User nabiq65 posted two videos showcasing a flash flood near the faculty of built environment at UiTM. Zamron Mat's Facebook post revealed that Taman Sri Alam and Saujana Utama in Sungai Buloh were also affected by the floodwaters, with water spilling onto main roads.

Selangor's fire and rescue department reported that a team from the Bestari station was on its way to the scene. Ashrul Riezal Asbar, assistant director of the department, confirmed that in Kampung Johan Setia, water levels reached approximately 0.3 meters, entering several homes. However, no evacuations were conducted. At the Puncak Alam UiTM kindergarten, the floodwaters had receded by the time firefighters arrived at 5:26 PM.

Ashrul further stated that the residential area of Taman Seri Alam had experienced flash floods due to heavy rain and an overflow from a nearby retention pond, with water levels estimated at 0.3 meters.
