THE knee-high floods that hit parts of Kampung Jalan Kebun in Shah Alam, Selangor, on Wednesday was due to rubbish choking two drainage outlets, which caused water to overflow to low-lying areas.

Shah Alam mayor Datuk Mohd Fauzi Mohd Yatim said continuous rain from 3pm to 6pm, coupled with the clogged drains led to overflow of surface runoff.
