Selangor is most probably Malaysia's most industrialised and richest state. It's eff-ing high time it uses some of her considerable wealth, a lot more than the past and now, to do something about its drainage and water supply.
Don't eff-ing make Selangorians suffer whilst the gold gathers dust in the treasury. In other words, don't be an Ebenezer Scrooge.
The Star:
Floods: Klang Valley folk share their experience on social media
PETALING JAYA: People are taking to social media to show the situation they are facing due to continuous heavy rain in the Klang Valley.
People are posting pictures and videos of flash floods, many of floodwater entering their homes or flooding roads on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Tiktok.
