SHAH ALAM, Nov 24 — Several major routes around the city have been fully closed after heavy rain raised water levels, rendering the roads unsafe.
The Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) said the Royal Malaysian Police issued the directive.
The affected roads are Jalan Seksyen 19, the main road from Section 24 heading towards Section 23, Persiaran Jubli Perak, and Persiaran Perusahan.
"The public is advised to exercise caution and use alternative routes for their safety," it said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) today.
