Heavy downpour cause flash flood around Brunei‏

The flash flood occured around 11.00pm to 3.00am on the night of 20/1/2009 and the Royal Brunei Police has block all the road that is unsafe for a motorist to pass through. They have done amazing job containing the serious area to avoid the road user from ruining their cars. Fire rescue and Ambulance are dispatch all around Brunei to monitor the safety of the public.

Road that should be avoided when there are flash flood. (Area found by bruneimotors crew last night )
1. All Gadong Area
2. Road along Royal Brunei Police Headquaters
3. Jalan Tutong
4. Jalan Tasek Lama
5. Jalan Batu Bersurat
6. Jalan Beribi
7. Mukim Lumapas
8. Tasek Meradun ( Landslide )
9. Telesai

More than 50 cars or more are affected by the flood, we hope that there will be more safety precaution or warning flood system install to prevent this.

Without the speedy action of Royal Brunei Police, more cars will be effected.
