Video: Frustration over flash flood run high amongst Kuala Lumpur residents

Kuala Lumpur folks whose cars were damaged during the flash flood on Monday have expressed their frustration in a video by The Star.

One road user, Masliana Musa, told reporters that when she arrived at the open-air parking lot where she parked her car, water levels have already reached the roof of the cars.

Another road user, Halim Osman, was only in the area for a quick meeting. However, he was caught in the flood and his Proton X70 suffered massive damage due to the flood.

Halim also noted that water levels rose fairly quickly so there was nothing that he could do to save his car.

He further added his frustration over the government’s lack of concern over a matter that KL-Lites have been suffering for decades.

According to the report, car owners in the area had had to abandon their vehicles on Monday as water levels were too high for tow trucks to come in and tow their vehicles away.
