I think DBKL must commissioned engineers to look into the root cause of this problem. If it aspires to be a world class city, this is the kind of problem that must be eliminated.

KL hit by flash floods
Heavy rain caused flooding on several stretches of roads after Sungai Gombak and Sungai Bonus overflowed. Many vehicles were trapped when their paths were blocked by flood waters which rose as high as 0.7m.
A Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) operations room spokesman said the flooded areas included Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Gurney and Jalan Gurney Kiri, Jalan Ampang in front of the Risda Building and Jalan Semarak.
He also said five cars were reported to be submerged in flood waters in Jalan Gurney Kiri.
The Smart Tunnel was closed at 4.20pm to drain the flood waters. “The tunnel from Seremban to Kuala Lumpur was still closed while the tunnel from Kuala Lumpur to Seremban is back to normal,” a Smart Expressways spokesman said last night.
At a kindergarten nearby, 16 children aged between 16 months and four years were surrounded by flood waters. All were taken to safety by firemen from Jelatek, Chow Kit and Jinjang fire stations.
Isa said about 50 cars parked at the building were submerged in water.
