KUALA LUMPUR: In another round of torrential downpour yesterday, several parts of the city came to a standstill because of flash floods. The one and a half hour downpour that ended at about 6pm caught many city folk off-guard.

Traffic at Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Ampang came to a complete stop with water rising rapidly, while the pedestrian bridge at the Chan Sow Lin LRT station was closed due to flash floods at Jalan Yaacob Latif.
