SHAH ALAM, Dec 21 — Four more bodies have been found after recent flash flooding in Taman Sri Muda, Shah Alam, bringing the death toll to 12 (seven men and five women) as at 7pm.

The two men and two women have yet to be identified, said Shah Alam district police chief, ACP Baharudin Mat Taib, in a statement today.

“The bodies were taken to Hospital Shah Alam for post-mortem,” he added.
