JPS issues flash flood warnings for areas in Penang, Selangor, Johor, Pahang, KL and Sarawak
Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran of Kementrian Alam Sekitar dan Air issued a warning at 3pm earlier today regarding the possibility of flash flooding in some areas around Malaysia.
Areas that may be affected include Seberang Perai Utama, Seberang Perai Utama, Seberang Perai Utama Selatan and Timur Laut in Penang, Petaling and Klang in Selangor, Muar and Tangkak in Johor, Kuantan and Temerloh in Pahang, Samarahan and Kuching in Sarawak and Kuala Lumpur .
A quick check on social media also showed netizens posting videos of flash floods occurring in Bangi, Selangor and Kulim, Kedah, although these areas were not included in the JPS announcement, so it only demonstrate that the weather and the ability of our drainage system to handle loads can be unpredictable.
As always, try to avoid affected areas if possible, do not attempt to cross flooded areas as it can cause significant damage to your vehicle. Make sure you have Special Risk Insurance add-on to your car so you’re covered in the event your car gets stuck and damaged by a flood.
Air mula naik di kawasan sekitar bangi. Hati-hati semua yang berada di sekitar sini!
