Were the photos of flood at TTDI Jaya taken last week 27-Feb-2008???
The reason I'm asking is that in the paper, Shah Alam MP candidate stated that TTDI Jaya was not affected by last Wednesday flood:

Flash floods hit Shah Alam
By SALINA KHALID
A SUDDEN downpour coupled with clogged drains was the main cause of the flash flood that hit Shah Alam on Wednesday, said Shah Alam parliamentary candidate Datuk Seri Abdul Aziz Shamsuddin.
“The cause of it all is human; it is something we cannot control.
“We could be spending millions to improve the infrastructure but if people keep disposing of garbage into the drains, causing them to clog up, then it is very difficult for us to solve the problem,” he said.
On Wednesday evening, about 140 families from Sections 2, 4 and 11 as well as Sungai Air Kuning were hit by the flash flood.
Aziz was also disappointed that the remote sensing instrument that gave early warnings of flash floods in Section 4 did not function properly due to vandalism.
He added that the government had spent a lot of money in improving the infrastructure, including deepening and widening the rivers, in efforts to solve the flood problem in the city.
“That is why areas that were previously prone to flash floods, like Kampung Kebun Bunga and TTDI, are not affected,” he said.
Aziz later visited some of the flood victims and listened to their grouses.
Meanwhile, each of the 140 affected families received RM300 from Shah Alam City Council and the Shah Alam Parliamentary welfare unit.
Shah Alam deputy mayor Mohtar Hani, who presented the aid, hoped that it would help ease their burden. http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2008/3/1/central/20487181&sec=central
