Universiti Malaya and the Klang Valley experienced significant flooding, affecting roads and local infrastructure.

Footage of affected areas, including Gombak, Selangor, revealed the impact on local institutions like kindergartens, while major trunk roads such as Jalan Perak, Jalan Travers, and Sultan Iskandar Highway faced notable traffic disruptions.
