KUALA LUMPUR: Heavy rain caused Sg Bunus to overflow and thigh-high floodwaters cut off traffic along Jalan Tun Razak in front of the national library causing massive traffic jams during peak hours.
According to SMART Tunnel tweet update the tunnel was closed to traffic to drain floodwaters at 4.38pm and was reopened at 6.30pm.
Meanwhile, Bernama reported that over 30 children were stranded at a kindergarten in nearby Jalan Semarak near TM Training Centre due to the floods.
Kuala Lumpur fire and rescue spokesman said two boats had been deployed to take the children out of the premises.
"We are in the process of taking them out to safe places," he told Bernama when contacted.
