Gates to open so the water can drain

Floods in Kuala Selangor are expected to recede soon after sluice gates there are opened on Friday evening, Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) Selangor Zone 7 chief Samsol Maarif Saibani told Media Selangor. "As of this morning, (the situation) around Kuala Selangor has been quite calm because there was no rain yesterday afternoon. The sluice gate will be opened this evening to allow water that has stagnated or inundated several areas to recede," he said, adding that some residents at relief centres would be allowed to go home after the water recedes.
