Serious flash floods hit LDP Puchong @ Around Puchong IOI Mall

Two southbound sections of the LDP (Damansara-Puchong Highway), around Puchong IOI Mall, were hit by flash floods for about 30 minutes on Monday due to heavy rains and backflow from the Klang River.

週一下午一場大雨,導致白蒲大道的蒲種山莊至蒲種市中心路段,多處發生閃電水災,導致多輛交通工具陷入水鄉,涉及車輛包括一輛工廠迷你巴士、一輛豐田Vios及Myvi等。此外,IOI購物中心部分商店的地面也積水,其露天停車場的積水更深達兩呎。

This blog is a platform to share what I love in life: food (eat), travel (play), photography (art) and life (thoughts and ideas). With passion for food, I share my foodie adventures and indulgences here. “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”

Traveling makes us a better human being as we recognise the similarities and celebrate the differences of cultures between where we travel to and where we come from. “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

Photography do more than just capturing the best moments in our lives; they also help us tell our life stories. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
