KLANG: Social media users here and in Shah Alam have been posting photos and videos on Facebook and Instagram as water levels here rise due to flash floods on Thursday (Nov 17).
While some shared pictures and videos of inundated kitchens or living halls, many said they were having a sleepless night as they had to keep watch in case floodwaters entered their homes.
The flooded areas in Klang include Taman Sentosa, Bayu Perdana, Klang Utama, Bukit Tinggi, Kampung Jawa, Taman Tengku Bendahara Azman and Sungai Kandis.
Taman Sri Muda - which was badly hit in last year's major flood - was also affected.
The Department of Irrigation and Drainage has said on its official website that several rivers in Selangor had a dangerous water level as of 5.45am.
As of 10am, the level of Sungai Klang near Taman Sri Muda, Sungai Rasau near Taman Desa Kemuning and Sungai Binjai near Pekan Meru remained above dangerous level, while Sungai Kandis near Kampung Jawa are at a warning level.
Meanwhile, some social media users reported that water levels have started receding in some areas in Klang and Shah Alam.
Additionally, Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said in a post on his official Facebook account that he visited Taman Melawis in Klang at 2.45am together with Klang Municipal Council (MPK) president Noraini Roslan.
He added that as of 8.30am, the relevant state agencies have been ordered to help and save the people who were stranded at the flood-affected areas.
