Flash floods hit certain areas in Cheras, heavy traffic on major roads in KL as a result – find alternate routes

Flash floods have come about in certain areas of the Klang Valley following a thunderstorm earlier this evening. Social media posts indicate that Jalan Cheras, EkoCheras and Bandar Sri Permaisuri are among areas affected by flash floods.

Additionally, the KL information department tweeted less than an hour ago that traffic on the Salak expressway, Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Kuching, Jalan Loke Yew, Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin and the KL-Seremban expressway is expected to be slow as a result of the sudden and intense rain. Besraya has also reported flooding at a section of the route.

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.

      Well what to do when the previous Environmental Man said that Malaysia is not a climate vulnerable country back in 2021 then go and dish out direct negotiation tender for his flood mitigation project to cronies with no work carried out or shady works.

        The more malapetaka like banjir…cronies all jumping for joy in 5 star hotel celebrations.
        Look at the DBKL RIVER OF LIFE project…most of the amenities provided are poorly maintained,vandalised,dadah addicts etc.after spending juta juta Rm.
        So,our unity germen has to dish out by “open tenders” some kind of flood mitigation projects very soon.If not,rakyat marah..votes may go to greenies.

      • It’s the same thing world over. Personal interest comes first over that of the voters.

  • Even New York hit by flash flood recently. Global warming.
    According yo RITM, if it is happened in Selangor or Penang it is a disaster, while as it is happening in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu it is one kind of a test.

    whenever u see someone post on social media about flood, accident or any disaster, they will repeat what they have just said 2 to 3 times… “banjir, banjir… ahh… kereta sangkut… kereta sangkut”…. or “ahhh…. kemalangan, kemalangan…. pemandu maut ya… pemandu maut…”

    it is as if people are deaf and need to repeat so many times.
