30-minute downpour causes two-hour jam in city


Water at the Taman Mutiara MRT station rose high enough to cause several cars to be submerged during Wednesday evening’s downpour. — IZZRAFIQ ALIAS/The Star

WHAT was supposed to be a 45-minute journey home to Bandar Sungai Long in Kajang took Prof R. Kurunathan two hours instead because of traffic jam caused by flood.

He had left Universiti Malaya in Kuala Lumpur at 7.15pm on Wednesday and was stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic at Jalan Loke Yew, Cheras, only reaching home at 9.10pm.
