Continuous heavy rain causes several floods in Ipoh

Continuous heavy rain for several hours yesterday evening caused floods in several areas in Ipoh.

A Perak Fire and Rescue Department spokesperson said the department received a report of flooding at the Perak Badminton Academy, Bandar Meru Raya and the Ulu Chepor area.

“All victims at the Badminton Academy left the premises on their own and no victim has been evacuated so far.

“The fire department is still monitoring the flood situation at the locations,” the spokesperson told Bernama.

Meanwhile, photographs and a video were circulated on Facebook by an individual using the name of Tuan Denan, who claimed that the water in the rain catchment ponds in Meru Perdana and Suria Meru were at high levels and this had caused flooding.

“If heavy rain continues, then more serious flooding will occur. Be prepared for any possibility and a second wave,” Tuan Denan wrote.
