KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 — Heavy torrential rain has raised water levels to cause pockets of flash flood around the Klang Valley, forcing traffic to a near standstill and disrupting travel time for workers.

Areas reported to have been hit by floods include key roads within the city centre and major highways such as the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) and Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP).

Earlier, Malay Mail reported that even the Dewan Rakyat sitting was delayed to start at 10.30am.

Some social media posts of those affected, including an unidentified kindergarten which saw students having to climb their desks to avoid the water:
