“There was an overflow of seawater in the settlement area near the coast in five districts, namely Kuala Selangor, Klang, Kuala Langat, Sabak Bernam and Sepang this morning, but it has now started to recede.

Muhammad Izzat Haziq said that small landslides were also detected in the bund at Kampung Nelayan Telok Gong, Port Klang, Klang and that the state Department of Irrigation and Drainage would implement immediate repairs.

Sunny weather and the absence of rain were some of the factors that controlled the high tide phenomenon in the districts, he added.

Meanwhile, in Negeri Sembilan, the high tide phenomenon that hit the Port Dickson coastline since yesterday is reported to be under control due to the hot weather and no reports of flooding caused by overflowing seawater have been received.
However, the Port Dickson Civil Defense Force (APM) officer Captain Mohamad Azri Abu Hassan said that in the event of heavy and incessant rains, some areas are likely to be submerged, especially in low-lying areas.
