A large tree uprooted during heavy rain has fallen onto the Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery, damaging several graves at the historic site, which is the final resting place of Malaysian film legends Tan Sri P. Ramlee and Puan Sri Saloma.
Videos circulating on social media show the tree lying across the cemetery grounds with its roots exposed, and multiple tombstones visibly damaged by the impact.
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has confirmed that its personnel are currently on-site conducting clearing and branch-cutting operations to secure the affected area. The cemetery, situated near the Saloma Link, is considered a notable cultural landmark.
The incident occurred amid prolonged heavy rainfall in the Klang Valley, which has prompted authorities to remain on high alert for potential flash floods and related hazards.
In response to worsening weather conditions, DBKL has mobilised teams across the city to manage traffic flow, monitor river levels in high-risk zones, and clear fallen trees and other obstructions.
Separately, flash floods have been reported in several locations in Shah Alam, leading police and the Shah Alam City Council to temporarily close key roads in Seksyen 19 and Seksyen 24.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely.
