Several parts of Peninsular Malaysia are sustaining prolonged rainfall, according to the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia).
Affected states according to the department include Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Selangor, Pahang, Perak, Penang, and Kedah.
Further south in the peninsula, also affected are Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, and Johor. Thunderstorms and heavy rain primarily affect the western parts of Malaysia, while East Malaysia is relatively unaffected, according to the MetMalaysia illustration.
Meanwhile in the Kuala Lumpur city centre, flash floods have affected Jalan Parlimen and Bukit Aman, reported Sinar Harian, while the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) has advised that the SMART tunnel is fully closed to traffic as of 11:30am for stormwater management. Continuous rain has also triggered a landslide in Taman Melawati, The Star reported.
As before, plan your travels especially in this time of increased rainfall, and plan your journeys if you are, or will be in flood-prone areas. Use alternate routes or delay travel in order to not put yourself in harm’s way, and try not to drive through floods, regardless of your type of vehicle.
In the event of inevitable stranding, special perils coverage is a crucial add-on to one’s vehicle insurance policy, and while there is added cost, it is minor compared to repair costs that would otherwise not be covered for natural disasters and other incidents classified as acts of God.
