Puchong flash flood - what is the cause and action?

The flash flood happened on the 18th of Feb 2013. So have we confirmed the cause? And what would be the next action by the authorities? Have we learn our lessons? I guess not. And oh yeah, as far as I recalled, this was not first time. I still remember IOI opened air car park and the McD in IOI were badly flooded few years ago. So I foresee the sequel will take place if no further action being taken to resolve this for immediate and long term. Blocked drainage system may have caused Puchong flash flood THE 30-minute flash flood that submerged cars along the Damansara-Puchong Express-way (LDP) and in the IOI Mall open-air carpark in Puchong could have been caused by blocked drainage, which prevented water from flowing into the Klang River. Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) president Datuk Asmawi Kasbi said water from Puchong residential areas such as Bandar Puchong Jaya flowed into the river through several passages that run under the LDP and also past the IOI Mall and in

Badminton All England 2013 Final: Chong Wei lost to Chen Long

I watched this game. Not sure why Chong Wei's movement was slow while Chen Long was turbo charged and responding to Chong Wei's shots so well. Is the age is catching up for Chong Wei or Chen Long has improved so much? I think it is both. At the same time, I really miss to see the flamboyant Lin Dan. Where has he gone hiding? WORLD No. 1 Lee Chong Wei was angry with himself yesterday after losing an opportunity to win the All-England for the third time at the National Indoor Arena. The 30-year-old Chong Wei lost his spark, losing 21-17, 21-18 to Chen Long of China in a highly-charged men's singles final. It was the 24-year-old Chen Long's sixth win in 13 meetings over the Malaysian. "I made too many mistakes today, especially in the early part of the game. I am angry with myself right now," said a disappointed Chong Wei, who also lost last year's final against Lin Dan after withdrawing with a shoulder injury. "But this is not the end. I am g
