JOHOR BARU: Business operators along Jalan Wong Ah Fook here are facing problems in maintaining their businesses due to the frequent flash floods caused by the ongoing multi-billion Sungai Segget revitalisation project right in front of their premises.

A restaurant worker, who wanted to be known as Tiew, said a few months ago his employer had to buy four new refrigerators after all of theirs were damaged by the recent flash floods where water rose in just a few minutes.
