Mindset change can put an end to flash floods


Flood

I REFER to The Star report “Flash floods wreak havoc in PJ” on Jan 25, on evening downpours that caused flash floods in several parts of Petaling Jaya, Gombak and Sungai Buluh, leaving houses and cars submerged and resulting in traffic crawls.

Flash floods are a perennial problem in the Klang Valley. Although there were no casualties, commuters and motorists suffered serious inconvenience and damage to their vehicles, resulting in financial losses.
