Flash floods hit Seksyen 13 Shah Alam – find alternate routes, get Special Perils insurance add-on coverage

Pix – Zaini Abdullah on FB

Social media reporting of flash floods in Seksyen 13 of Shah Alam has emerged today, following sustained rainfall in the area this afternoon.

Flood water levels at this time appear to be lower than in past instances of flooding, though naturally the best course of action is to avoid taking to the roads which are affected; the submerged road surface is no longer visible, which brings the potential danger of hidden obstructions or debris.

As such, if the route you intend to take is affected, delay your journey if possible, and avoid forcing your way through floods as it may cause significant damage to your vehicle.

Also highly recommended is the Special Perils add-on for your vehicle’s insurance coverage, as past floods in recent times have shown, vehicle owners without flood coverage face potentially massive repair bills.

    It’s the economy, stupid.

    Please focus on good governance, build and upgrade infrastructures without the need to burden taxpayers with toll.

    Prepare for climate change. Prepare for dams, flooding, etc. Recycling; sanitisation of the country, rubbish everywhere

    Please stop the subsidies and focus on increasing people’s income. Introduce tax GST. Please stop these handout culture

      some time during chedet era, bn installed a weather control machine in selangor state secretariat building. when pr (now ph) took over state govt in 2008, bn couldn’t remove the machine but managed to hide the key that can switch on the machine. so for many years, pr/ph couldn’t use this machine. then in late 2022 when bn & ph became part of the unity central govt, ph asked bn about the key, but to everyone’s horror, the key was missing. after investigating, it was found that abah had taken the key just before he left bn. so during recent state election, the story of this weather control machine key being in abah’s possession was being spread around, resulting in pn making inroads in the state dun.

    Useless gomen. Already flooding for years, still can’t come out with solution. So bad infrastructure. In front of shopping center also can flood.

    • Not sure if the gomen is useless on this matter. But if flooding year in and out for decades and with no clean water to wash after the flood, it would definitely due to useless voters.

  • Guess all this no thanks to the previous Environmental Man who stated Malaysia is not a Climate Vulnerable Country back in 2021 then continue to fish out flood mitigation project to cronies – no wonder.
