Workers with Klang Municipal Council’s (MPK) Environmental Services Department began removing debris swept into monsoon drains in the aftermath of Monday afternoon’s flash floods.

Department director Zaireezal Ahmad Zainuddin said 55 council workers were in several areas, including Meru, Jalan Batu Tiga Lama, Bandar Bukit Tinggi and Pandamaran New Village to remove blockages in drains.

“Our workers are scooping hundreds of plastic drink bottles, among other trash, from drains,” he said KDEB Waste Management workers were also seen scooping out sand, silt and rubbish from neighbourhood drains.

Many families began the arduous task of cleaning up their homes after Monday’s floods.

Checks by StarMetro, at Taman Daya Meru in Meru, Taman Chi Liung and Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Klang, saw people washing their car porches and kitchens as muddied waters had dirtied their homes.

Some families discarded their furniture that were damaged in the knee-high floodwaters.

Taman Daya Meru Residents Association chairman Mohammad Daud Saidin, 65, said areas affected in Meru were Taman Daya Meru, Taman Daya Maju (Jalan Beruas and Jalan Abadi), Taman Bayu, Taman Meru Utama Daya A, Taman Meru Utama Daya B, Taman Meru Utama Daya C and Kampung Meru Jalan Chempaka.
