Flash floods might be linked to highway project in Ampang Jaya - Zuraida

The flash floods following heavy rain around Ampang Jaya yesterday were believed to have been caused by several factors including the highway construction work in the nearby area.

Ampang member of parliament Zuraida Kamaruddin claimed that the soil and mud from the construction site had piled up in the drains and river, causing the drainage to become shallow and resulting in floods.
