RESIDENTS of Taman Teluk Pulai in Klang say that a monsoon drain at Leboh Sembilang 1 is causing backflow of water into the housing area.

Taman Teluk Pulai Residents’ Association member Gunarasa Sinnathurai said ever since it was completed in 2017, the drain would overflow and muddy water, measuring up to 25cm high, entered their houses.
