Drain overflow causes flash floods in Taman Sri Muda — Fire and Rescue Dept
SHAH ALAM: Overflowing drains caused flash floods in several areas around Section 25, Taman Sri Muda, Jalan Kebun, Kampung Baru Hicom in Section 26 and Section 13 here today.
A flash flood incident occurred in Taman Sri Muda, Shah Alam, due to overflowing drains caused by heavy rain that began at 3:15pm. The overflow led to water accumulation in flood-prone areas, with water levels reportedly reaching halfway up the tyres of cars, as confirmed by photographs shared by the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department.
Assistant Operations Director Ashrul Riezal Asbar stated that while water levels were beginning to recede after the rain ceased, the department continued to monitor flood-prone locations. No evacuations were carried out in the affected areas, and residents were advised to exercise caution due to unpredictable weather conditions.
