Residents of Laman Rimbunan in Kepong are experiencing recurring flooding issues at Jalan Metro Perdana Timur, causing disruptions and safety hazards. In addition, the implementation of paid parking in Taman Usahawan Kepong, a primarily industrial area, has sparked complaints from business owners who say it burdens their employees.
Residents of Laman Rimbunan in Kepong have been experiencing flooding at Jalan Metro Perdana Timur for over five years. Long-time resident Steven Ng said the flooding had worsened over the years and it now takes about two days for the floodwaters to subside. The flooding causes cars to stall and motorcyclists are unable to get through the flooded road and are drenched by splashing water when cars drive past.
Ng added that when the township was built over 28 years ago, the developer planted trees on the pavements. He suspects the roots are clogging the drains below and is calling for Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to address the issue. Residents hope DBKL can remove the concrete drain covers to identify the problem. The residents also raised the issue of paid parking in Taman Usahawan Kepong, where business owners are unhappy about the implementation. Air conditioning business owner Kris Loh said she has 10 employees who drive to work daily and park there. They will be burdened by the parking charges. This area is gazetted as an industrial area and most people who come here are workers. Yee said there are 11 areas where DBKL has implemented the paid parking system, including Jinjang Selatan, Jinjang Utara, Kepong Baru, Metro Prima-Magna Park, Pekan Kepong, Taman Petaling Kepong, Taman Sri Segambut, Taman Usahawan Kepong, Sri Edaran Kepong, Laman Rimbunan Kepong and Pusat Kepong. Yee said Taman Usahawan Kepong and Sri Edaran Kepong are industrial areas and DBKL should not impose parking fees there
