1:36Now PlayingRescue teams worked to free people from Malaysia’s worst flooding in years after heavy rains stopped in Kuala Lumpur and other areas in the country like Shah Alam, Selangor. At least 10,000 people were trapped by floods over the weekend and 3 people were killed.
Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said rains had dumped more water on the capital and surrounding Selangor state than the monthly average for this time of the year, which is marked by monsoons and wet weather.
The amount of rain that fell in Selangor on Saturday “would usually fall in one month,” he said at a news conference.
The area around the capital saw more than 10,000 people evacuated from flooded homes. Many people were also trapped in cars along flooded highways after rivers burst their banks.
Tens of thousands of rescue personnel were deployed in Selangor and other parts of the country to deal with the aftermath of the severe weather.
