KUALA LUMPUR – As parts of Malaysia reported severe flooding throughout the region today, netizens have started issuing landslide alerts as well.
Following non-stop rainfall since yesterday, various areas in the Klang Valley, Melaka, and Negri Sembilan were hit by floods earlier today.
The constant downpour has now resulted in severe landslides, with some destroying transportation infrastructures.
The worst of which, seems to be the one located along Jalan Jimah-Sendayan in Seremban.
