“Road users need to be careful and do not take the risk of continuing with their journey if the roads they are travelling on are under water. Be careful during this flood season. If there is no need to go out, just stay at home,” he said today.

A man is believed to have been swept away with his vehicle at the Kluang-Kahang road last night after helping his wife to get out of their car after the water rose sharply as they tried to continue travelling on the flooded road.

Earlier, several videos went viral on social media showing motorcyclists trying to brave roads under fast-flowing floodwater and experiencing mishaps.

Another viral video also showed a motorcycle being swept away by strong currents but the motorcyclist and his pillion rider managed to save themselves.
