Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari said the Drainage and Irrigation Department had informed him that rainfall had exceeded 380mm – more than twice the highest recorded rainfall for Selangor of around 180mm and the average rainfall of only around 60mm.
“In addition, high tides in affected areas exceeded 4.5 metres,” he said in a statement after chairing the latest Selangor state disaster management unit meeting today.
Klang and Shah Alam were among the worst hit areas and the Shah Alam expressway was closed, with massive jams on access roads.
