KUALA LUMPUR: Residents in low-lying and coastal areas of Selangor are being urged to stay alert for a high tide phenomenon expected tomorrow, with water levels predicted to reach up to 5.2 metres. The Selangor Fire and Rescue Department warns that this could lead to flooding as water from the Sungai Buloh and Ijok areas may converge with the high tide.
Selangor Fire and Rescue Department operations assistant director, Ashrul Riezal Asbar, stated that the situation demands early preparations by residents in coastal and low-lying areas, including around Kuala Selangor. Regarding the flooding in Kampung Melayu Subang, Ashrul Riezal clarified that rising water levels were likely due to overflow from the local drainage system and not the high tide phenomenon.
The department has not received additional reports on the incident but is monitoring the area to ensure assistance can be provided if needed. Social media posts indicate that Kampung Melayu Subang experienced flash floods following heavy rain on Nov 2, with water inundating residential areas and submerging parts of yards and access roads.
