Drainage upgrade keeps flood worries at bay

Flash floods like this used to take place at Jalan SS2/6 in Petaling Jaya before MBPJ upgraded the drainage system.

FOR the past three years, several double-storey terrace houses in SS2, Petaling Jaya were affected by flash floods due to overflow from upstream drainage.

Eric Foong who has been living in the neighbourhood for 40 years said his area often faced flash floods after heavy rains.
