GEORGE TOWN: An overnight downpour triggered flash floods in to two low-lying suburban village areas here.
Intermittent heavy rainfall which began at 3am flooded about 20 households at Kampung Nelayan and Kampung Suluk, both in Teluk Kumbar, Bayan Lepas.
Both neighbourhoods were in knee-deep water by about 5am, causing residents to scramble to prevent floodwaters from seeping into their houses, to no avail.
The water level rose to about 0.3 meters before receding at about 6am.
Fortunately, no one was displaced or evacuated in the incident.
A clean-up process is now in full swing.
