Kuala Lumpur roads flooded again – Jalan Pahang, Ampang, Pudu, Parlimen, Bangsar, Syed Putra

You just knew this was coming when you saw the rain, didn’t you? After a heavy downpour, various major roads in Kuala Lumpur are again affected by standing water, as reported by Jabatan Penerangan WPKL. This round, 12 roads are currently affected:

  • Jalan Kinabalu
  • Jalan Pahang
  • Jalan Ampang
  • Jalan Pudu
  • Jalan Melaka
  • Jalan Parlimen
  • Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim
  • Jalan Cheras
  • Jalan Chan Sow Lin
  • Jalan Damansara
  • Jalan Bangsar
  • Tunnel Syed Putra

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.

    Would be nice to drive a lifted pickup in this situation, but then again some say people drive pickup is samseng tahi kucing.

    • Need to check if all the MSMA Rain Water Retention tanks are working.
      They should be pumped dry so the rain can retention for 2 hours.

        Kalau Salah Kasih Saman.
        Kalau no Law Kasih Law.

        Flood is Dangerous, Safety Issue.

        JPS / DBKL may need to take action

          Meelofa,
          Guess what?
          I started reading the pdf file and what the DID/ authorities have done is just copied verbatim the contents from another manual/management standard ie… (Knox County 2008).

          lol

    1. Who should be/is maintaining the drainage system?
    2. Who is checking if the drainage system is actually being maintained?
    3. Who ensures that the above 2 is being done.

    Years of development and rubbish strewn all over, the silt in the drainage system
