TNB Temporarily Shuts Down 40 Substations In KL

Tenaga Malaysia Berhad (TNB) had to shut off electrical supply at some substations to safeguard the public's safety during the flash floods yesterday evening. 

Just as we recover from the big Klang Valley flood of 2021, flash floods hit the capital once again, causing mayhem to those who were unlucky enough to be caught out by the sudden heavy rainfall.

After heavy rain started at 3.00pm yesterday, water quickly started pooling up in many areas, which caused several main roads to be flooded.

Among them are Jalan Kuchai Lama and Sungai Besi, where many vehicles were seen submerged in water in the middle of the road and causing traffic congestion.

Apart from that, the water in Sungai Klang was also overflowing, which caused floods in front of Masjid Jamek, Jalan Masjid India and even the road leading to Pudu.
