Highway project may be among causes of flash floods in Ampang Jaya, says Zuraida

KUALA LUMPUR: The flash floods following heavy rain around Ampang Jaya were believed to have been caused by several factors including the highway construction work in the nearby area.

Ampang MP Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin claimed that the soil and mud from the construction site had piled up in the drains and river, causing the drainage to become shallow and resulting in floods.
