Roadworks cause wet weekend for 20 Sentul families
KUALA LUMPUR: About 20 families in Taman Pelangi, Sentul, had a wet and miserable holiday last weekend. Their homes were flooded because construction on the Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE), which began early this year, disrupted the normal flow of rain water.
Resident Arshad Shaari, 41, said there had been minor floods in the area before but since construction began it had become worse.
"The flooding started on Friday after a downpour and continued into Saturday. The water only receded on Sunday," he said.
