What happened
Selangor is implementing flood mitigation measures in Klang, Kuala Selangor, and Sepang following heavy rainfall recorded between November 5 and 7, 2026, with readings reaching up to 114.5mm. The state government identified high rainfall, river overflow, and insufficient internal drainage capacity as contributing factors to the flooding.
Why it matters
The measures address risks stemming from low-lying terrain and extreme weather conditions associated with climate change. The state government cautioned that flood risks cannot be completely eliminated.
