WITH floodwaters having subsided after Monday’s downpour, Kuala Lumpur folk are counting the cost of clean-up and repair work to their property, even as thunderstorms are forecast for the rest of the week.

They are frustrated with the authorities for continuing to blame high rainfall for overwhelming the drainage while plans to repair and upgrade flood retention ponds are ongoing.
