KLANG: Continued heavy rains, albeit in sporadic intervals, are preventing flood waters from receding in Klang, which is said to be facing its worst flooding in over four decades.

Most housing estates in the royal town, except those on higher ground, have been inundated since Friday .

Stationary cars were seen scattered all over Klang as drivers had abandoned them when they stalled due to floodwaters. “The water started rising quickly all of a sudden and my car stalled," said Joseph, adding that he had to leave his car behind and make his way home. Poh, who is also a reptile rescuer, said he had been receiving many calls of reptiles such as pythons and monitor lizards entering homes, but was unable to rescue them due to the floods.
