Sunday, 19 Jul 2020 06:03 PM MYTSEPANG, July 19 — About 500 residents around the Sepang district whose homes were flooded after a nearby river overflowed due to heavy rain last night, were transferred to three temporary relief centres in Dengkil today.
Dengkil state assemblyman Adhif Syan Abdullah when met at one of the relief centres said that heavy rain last night had caused the water at the Semenyih 2 water treatment plant to overflow at 1am, as the reservoir could no longer hold the excess water. He said Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari would discuss with the Ministry of Education on postponing classes at Sekolah Rendah Agama Dengkil and SJKC Dengkil, as both schools would be used to house the flood victims while waiting for water to recede.
“At first, the water began rising a little in the kitchen area. By 4am, the water had come up to the waist-level. We managed to save the electrical goods before the fire brigade came to take me and my three children out of the house,” said Noraini, who lives in Taman Timah.
