  "account": "Residents in low-lying and riverbank areas of Klang are being warned of a five-day high-tide phenomenon starting tomorrow, according to the Klang Royal City Council (MBDK). Mayor Datuk Abd Hamid Hussain advised caution, urging residents to monitor official weather advisories, avoid high-risk zones during heavy rain, and ensure emergency supplies are readily available. Water levels at the Port Klang station are forecast to reach 5.2 meters, with the peak tide expected at 5.02am on Sunday, placing it in the warning category. Thunderstorms are anticipated in several areas on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, with rain forecast at night. The MBDK has been preparing for potential floods and high tides, focusing on flood-prone spots and upgrading drainage systems, installing flood barriers, repairing pipes, and maintaining retention ponds. They are on high alert to respond swiftly to any complaints or disaster-related incidents. The council received 83 disaster-related complaints over two days, with 62 resolved, 16 under action, and five involving special assistance. Residents affected by fallen trees within MBDK's jurisdiction can submit compensation claims, requiring a police report first.",
