Flash Flood in Klang (Part II)


Heavy rain lasting several hours caused flash floods in major roads in the Klang Valley yesterday.
In Kapar, more than 200 families in Kampung Sungai Pinang Bandar, had to cancel their Hari Raya open house as their homes were flooded.
A downpour on Sunday, combined with two hours of rain yesterday, dampened residents' festive mood.
They were forced to clean up and wash household appliances, which were damaged by the floodwater.
The condition of several houses in the area was unknown as their owners had gone back to their hometowns. A few residents could not be contacted.
According to resident, Kartini @ Hawa Kamarudin, 59, the last time the village was flooded was 18 years ago.
