SHAH ALAM: Nearly three hours of heavy rain and a damaged drainage structure caused flash floods in several areas of Universiti Teknologi Mara's (UiTM) Puncak Alam campus in Kuala Selangor.
UiTM Selangor branch rector Prof Dr Ahmad Taufek Abdul Rahman said an inspection after the incident found that continuous heavy rain had caused an excessive volume of water to flow through the campus drainage system.
"As a result, the concrete beam structure of the drain gave way, causing water to overflow into nearby areas.
"However, all 16 water retention ponds within the campus were found to be functioning properly. Conditions on campus have now returned to normal," he said in a statement.
