KUALA LUMPUR — Prolonged heavy rain has triggered widespread flooding across the Sungai Buloh area, with over 500 houses reported damaged or partially submerged, according to local officials.
The downpour, which persisted over several hours, caused nearby waterways to overflow their banks, inundating residential neighbourhoods and forcing many families to evacuate their homes. The flooding poses risks to residents and their belongings, with water levels rising rapidly in low-lying zones.
In response to the disaster, relief centres have been activated to provide temporary shelter and assistance to those displaced by the flooding. Emergency response teams have been deployed to coordinate rescue and relief operations across affected areas.
Local authorities are monitoring water levels and weather conditions as cleanup and damage assessment efforts continue. Residents have been advised to remain vigilant and follow guidance from emergency services as the situation develops.
