Hefty bills await car owners

Force of nature: A car was overturned by strong water currents during the height of the floods which hit many parts of Johor.

JOHOR BARU: If your car has been submerged in floodwaters, be prepared to fork out about RM10,000 for repairs, says the Johor Automobile Repairmen’s Association.

Its chairman Ku Chong Sin said flood victims with water-damaged vehicles should also be prepared for a longer wait to get their cars fixed due to a shortage of workers and spare parts in the market.
