Heavy rain triggered flash floods across several areas in Subang, Ara Damansara, Kota Damansara and Subang Bestari on Saturday afternoon, with rising water levels forcing some motorists to slow down or stop their vehicles.
Social media users reported rapidly rising floodwaters along several roads, raising concerns over motorists attempting to drive through submerged areas.
The areas reportedly affected included LRT USJ7, Summit USJ, Ara Damansara, Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, Kota Damansara and several roads in Subang Bestari.
Threads user @shuumustafa said the rain around Subang was so heavy that several areas had begun flooding.
“Ya Allah, the rain in Subang is so heavy that it is causing floods. It would be better to stay home in weather like this, but I have to go out for work.
“Thankfully, I’m driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle, so I can get through, but the lightning is frightening. To all Grab and Foodpanda riders and everyone travelling by motorcycle, I hope you all stay safe,” the user wrote.
Meanwhile, another user, @jordanxin, urged the public to avoid the route between Subang Airport and Ara Damansara, claiming that the flooding was worsening and many cars had already stopped.
“Avoid Subang Airport-Ara Damansara. The flooding is getting worse and many cars have already stopped. I hope everyone stays safe,” the user said.
Another Threads user, @mawi_simedarby_autoselection, also reported that water levels in Ara Damansara were rising following the heavy afternoon downpour.
In Subang Bestari, user @ainunkhriyah warned motorists about several locations reportedly affected by flash floods.
These included the traffic lights near HELP University from the Pejabat Tanah direction, the area in front of the land office, Jalan RRIM and routes towards the Damansara-Shah Alam Expressway (DASH) near Star Avenue.
The situation also raised concerns among residents in Kota Damansara, where videos shared online showed floodwaters beginning to cover parking areas and roads near residential properties.
User @memenadeq said heavy rain had been falling since around 3pm and expressed concern that their car could be submerged if water levels continued to rise.
“It has been raining extremely heavily since 3pm. It looks like my car is about to be submerged,” the user said.
