SHAH ALAM – Shah Alam is experiencing rising water levels following heavy rainfall, with several areas now at risk of flooding.

The Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) has advised residents to remain vigilant, use alternative routes and follow authorities’ instructions if relocation to temporary shelters becomes necessary.

MBSA’s Pantas Team has been actively monitoring flood-prone locations, including Sungai Damansara in Section 13. Inspections revealed rising water levels, though flood pumps were reported to be operating effectively.

For emergencies or immediate flood-related assistance, the public can contact the Pantas Team at 03-55105811.

Among the areas affected by the rising water levels are:

Taman Desa Kemuning (Section 35)
Kampung Budiman (Section U14)
Kampung Kubu Gajah (Section U17)
Giant (Section 13)
Taman Sri Lembayung (Section 25)
Jalan Opera (Section U2)
Persiaran Jubli Perak (Section 19)

Jalan Mantap 25/126 (Section 25)
Jalan Sentosa 25/129 (Section 25)
Persiaran Budiman (Section 25)

In response to the rising waters, MBSA enforcement officers have closed Jalan Batu Tiga Lama heading to Taman Mesra, Section U1. The council has urged the public to exercise caution and seek alternative routes to ensure safety.

MBSA also reminded residents to monitor their children during the rainy season, advising them to keep track of their whereabouts, prevent them from playing in or consuming contaminated water and teach them to avoid drains, rivers and canals.

These advisories were shared in several posts on X (formerly Twitter) earlier today.
