  "account": "On November 4, heavy rainfall in Selangor triggered flash floods, causing significant damage to roads and infrastructure in the region. A bridge spanning Sungai Subang in the Petaling district collapsed, completely disrupting the main route between Kampung Kubu Gajah and Paya Jaras Hilir. The bridge's collapse was attributed to strong currents eroding the riverbanks, following 48 millimeters of rainfall recorded at the Paya Jaras Hilir station.\n\nIn response to the disaster, authorities imposed a Traffic Management Plan, diverting motorists and rerouting traffic to ensure safety. A temporary Bailey bridge is planned to be installed to restore access between the affected areas. Meanwhile, flash floods also impacted several other areas in Selangor, including Sungai Buloh, Paya Jaras, Kampung Melayu Subang, Rawang, and various locations in Shah Alam.\n\nThe Selangor Fire and Rescue Department reported that flash floods affected multiple regions, while the Malaysian Highway Authority's Traffic Management Centre confirmed that floodwaters on major highways were beginning to recede. The Shah Alam interchange, in particular, saw the reopening of the right and middle lanes, although southbound lanes remained temporarily closed for safety inspections. No other highways were reported to be impacted by the flooding, according to an LLM spokesman.",
