Flash flood at the Jalan Ampang and Jalan Sultan Ismail cross junction caused massive congestion.
FLASH flooding is a recurrent problem in Malaysia. It happens regularly and will continue to do so as long as no far-reaching and radical solution is taken to solve the problem at source.
Residents in high-rise buildings in densely populated cities like Kuala Lumpur contribute a high volume of wastewater. Without a properly maintained drainage system, this plus the accumulated surface run-off from heavy downpours will trigger flash floods.
