Yesterday, Kuala Lumpur experienced intense rainfall in the districts of Lembah Pantai, Bangsar and Kampung Kerinchi. The downpour knocked down several trees along the main thoroughfares. Fallen trunks obstructed key intersections and roadways. As a result, motorists and pedestrians found themselves stuck in unusually severe traffic congestion. The blockage persisted for multiple hours, extending well into the evening. Local residents reported being trapped for a prolonged period before traffic began to clear.
