  "summary": "Flash floods have recently impacted several areas in Shah Alam, causing significant traffic congestion and road closures. The heavy rain that occurred late last night led to the closure of multiple main routes on the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and the North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE). As a result, northbound traffic from Bukit Raja has been redirected to the Setia Alam toll plaza, while southbound traffic from Subang is being rerouted to the ELITE Highway. The closure of the GCE heading toward the Shah Alam toll plaza has also contributed to the ongoing traffic issues. This is the second instance of flooding in the Subang, Shah Alam, and Puncak Alam areas within a short period, following a similar event that occurred yesterday.",
