RESIDENTS at Jalan TK5/22, Taman Kinrara, who experienced flood waters coming into their homes for the first time in 30 years are blaming it on clogged drains in the housing area.

Subang MCA chairman and Selangor MCA Complaints Bureau chief Lawrence Chiew, who was at the scene, said residents, still reeling from the trauma of losing their belongings, had told him that despite numerous complaints to the Subang Jaya Municipal Council, little action was taken to dig up mud and rubbish from the area’s drainage systems.
