Kampung Melayu Subang resident wades through flood to reach brother

Kampung Melayu Subang resident Muhamad Fazzamy Hilmy Mohd Fadzli waded through chest-deep water on Monday evening. He was trying to reach his younger brother, who was alone at home.

Fazzamy, a freelance personal trainer who lives on Jalan Jati, Kampung Melayu Subang, told CJ.MY what happened. His story follows flash floods across the Klang Valley. Sungai Buloh MP Datuk Seri R. Ramanan has since said more than 500 houses were affected.

Here is what he saw, what other residents posted and what the authorities say.

A call from home on Monday

Fazzamy said heavy rain began at about 2pm to 3pm. The water started to rise at about 5pm.

He asked to leave work early after his younger brother phoned him. His brother is a school student, and the two live together.

Their parents were away at the time. That left the brothers to deal with the water alone.

“Most routes into my house are in a low-lying area,” he said. That is why his video shows water at chest level.

Fazzamy also shared a video of himself in the water. It shows brown floodwater up to his chest.

Meanwhile, the Sungai Damansara rose past its danger level that evening. The river station at the village read 18.88 metres at 5pm. Its danger level is 17.4 metres.

However, inside the house the water was only knee-deep. Even so, about 70% of their belongings were damaged, including mattresses and furniture.

What other residents posted

Fazzamy was not alone. Other residents shared their own accounts on Threads as the water rose.

One family said the water rose fast while they were at work. Neighbours helped to rescue their children, the post said.

Another resident said the water in her lane reached chest level and everything was submerged.

Photos in the posts show floodwater inside homes, covering floors and furniture.

A third resident asked if anyone nearby had a water jet to lend.

However, this is not the first flood. The village was also hit in April 2024, in October 2024 and in February this year.

Overall, the posts describe a fast rise, damage inside homes and neighbours helping each other.

What the authorities say

Ramanan said more than 500 houses were affected in several areas around Sungai Buloh, particularly Kampung Melayu Subang. He posted the figure on Facebook on Monday night.

In the fire department’s earlier count, Jalan Jati was the worst-hit road. It had 50 of the 92 houses then listed.

A temporary relief centre has opened at Dewan Siantan in Kampung Melayu Subang.

Ramanan said the Sungai Buloh Parliamentary Service Centre is working with volunteers and agencies. They include the Petaling District and Land Office and the Shah Alam City Council.

Besides, NADMA’s noon report listed one flood relief centre in Petaling. It held eight families, or 31 people, and the number was rising.

For now, residents can follow river levels on the state’s Public InfoBanjir portal. We will update this story as new figures come in.
