PETALING JAYA: Continuous heavy rain since this afternoon has flooded Sultanah Aminah Hospital in Johor Bahru today.
Berita Harian reported that in a four-minute, 25-second video shared online, hospital staff could be seen carrying hospital equipment and motorcycles out of a flooded building.
Several social media users said in the comments that their homes and workplaces have also similarly been struck by flash floods, including in Kulai.
New Straits Times reported the hospital as saying Bangunan Lily, which houses the psychiatry and mental health specialist clinic, was inundated at about 4pm due to a drainage failure.
It said the situation was brought under control by 4.45pm, and cleaning had been completed.
State health and environment committee chairman Ling Tian Soon visited the site to inspect the situation, and the Johor Civil Defence Force later confirmed that floodwaters at the hospital had fully receded.
Ling said the heavy rain, which started at around 2pm and only receded by 6.30pm, had caused “waterfalls” into the low-lying building.
“Based on data from the Johor Bahru irrigation and drainage department, rainwater levels were recorded as exceeding 70mm.
“The department will propose the construction of a small drain by the roadside to channel water directly into the drainage system,” he said.

KOTA KINABALU, Sept 12 — Flood disasters have been declared in Penampang and Beaufort after days of heavy rain triggered rising river levels and inundated low-lying homes, forcing hundreds of residents into evacuation centres.
In Penampang, sub-district officer Noemi Dyena John Tren, who chairs the District Disaster Management Committee (JPBD), confirmed the declaration at 7.30pm yesterday after conditions worsened.
“Based on reports and information received from agencies on the ground, it is hereby declared that a flood disaster has occurred in the district of Penampang,” she said in a statement.
Three temporary evacuation centres (PPS) — the Penampang Sports Complex, SMK Datuk Peter Mojuntin and SK St Paul Kolopis — were immediately activated to house displaced families.
Traffic was also disrupted as several major roads in Penampang became impassable to regular vehicles, including Jalan St Michael, Jalan St Joseph, Jalan Dakata, Jalan Kolopis and Jalan Nambazan. Parts of Donggongon town were submerged after heavy rain began around 3pm.
Residents in Donggongon, one of the worst-hit areas, voiced frustration as some homes were flooded for the third time in just 10 days, forcing repeated clean-ups and heightening calls for long-term flood mitigation measures.
In Beaufort, District Disaster Management Committee chairman Mohd Nazri Ajun confirmed that the Selagon Permanent Relief Centre (PPK) had been opened after inspections found several homes unsafe to occupy.
“The Selagon PPK was opened to ensure residents affected by the floods had a safe place to stay,” he said.
Personnel from the Civil Defence Force (APM) were also deployed to inspect roads leading to several villages in Beaufort after reports of rising floodwaters.
The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has warned of thunderstorms and heavy rain lasting from September 10 to 13 in several districts, including Sipitang, Tenom, Beaufort, Nabawan, Papar, Putatan, Penampang, Kota Kinabalu, Tuaran, Kota Belud, Tongod, Kinabatangan, Sandakan and Kudat.
