KUALA LUMPUR:
A number of areas in the city experienced flash floods, with multiple cars and motorists stranded in the waist-high water this evening.

The Fire and Rescue Department, in a statement, said among the affected areas were Jalan Duta, heading to Damansara, and the entrance to University Malaya at Jalan Lingkungan Budi.

Around 100 vehicles were stuck in floodwaters along Jalan Duta and 15 vehicles at the entrance to Universiti Malaya.
