PETALING JAYA: Stunned by the rapidly rising water, a 65-year-old chef and his family could only watch in disbelief from the upper storey of their home as their vehicles were submerged.

Panir Selvam, who lives in Taman Sri Muda, Seksyen 25, Shah Alam, said the ground level of his house was completely inundated, adding that he could see his dining table, refrigerator, washing machine and other household appliances floating in the water.
