Kampar, 28 April (J-on) – Kampar was hit by flash flood this evening due to unusual heavy downpour, causing drains to overflow.
The flood rose as high as 2 feet which threatened the safety of road users, fortunately there was no road accident being reported so far.
However, a Y2S3 Public Relation student from UTAR, Choo Chong Khan was much affected by the heavy rain, where his room in Westlake residential area was flooded with water leaked from the ceiling.
“This was the first time it happened to me, but my housemate had also experienced ceiling leakage during heavy rainfall in the past” said Choo.
“When I felt water dripping from the ceiling, I was stunned for few seconds, next thing I did was calling for help from my housemate” he said.
“We could not do anything but putting pails on the floor and sweeping the water into the bathroom” he added.
Choo also mentioned that he spent more than 2 hours to clean up the mess in his room.
Choo has uploaded a video showing the disastrous leakage in his room on Facebook.
