KUALA LUMPUR: Federal Territories Minister Annuar Musa said that business premises in Kuala Lumpur can open until 2 a.m. during the recovery motion control order (RMCO) period according to a decision made by the Council of National Security.
He said this followed complaints received by KL Mayor Nor Hisham Ahmad Dahlan that many companies had suffered losses.
Yesterday, the Kuala Lumpur City Council (DBKL) had decided to maintain a 12 a.m. closing time for restaurants and convenience stores, despite a decision by the security council allowing certain businesses to open later.
Nor did Hisham say that the closing time at 2 a.m. will go into effect tomorrow.
Annuar said he received many calls to investigate the origin of the flash floods in Kuala Lumpur last Thursday. She added that she will be conducting a comprehensive study to fix the problem.
“There are those who say that the source of the floods is related to the rapid runoff of the water because there are many elevated areas in KL. I would like more explanations, ”she said.
Last Thursday, five areas in KL suffered flash floods after heavy rains. The areas were Lebuh Ampang, Jalan Raja Alang in Kampung Baru, Jalan Gurney Kiri, Jalan Semarak, Lorong Ayer Leleh 5, Taman Ayer Panas, and Jalan San Ah Wing in Kampung Semarak.
