SHAH ALAM: Floods that hit the Klang Valley due to incessant rain from Friday morning (Dec 17) are beginning to gradually recede, says the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department.

       "Floodwaters in most areas have started to recede but there are areas near rivers where the water seems to be stagnant, such as in Taman Sri Muda here," its director Norazam Khamis told Bernama.

       Meanwhile, Bernama's aerial survey on board the department’s helicopter showed that the flood situation had not subsided in some areas of the Klang Valley on Sunday (Dec 19).

       In the Taman Sri Muda area, most routes and terrace houses were still flooded.

       A check around Section 13, Shah Alam, revealed that some areas were still flooded and difficult for vehicles to pass through.

       Other areas still affected include Taman Sri Nanding and Batu 18 in Hulu Langat.

       Most victims no longer need to be evacuated to temporary relief centres but are in need of food aid. - Bernama
