The Great Kajang Flood 70's

On the morning of the Great Floods that happen in Kajang. Morgan Soo who reside in Kajang Town started taking photos of various places in Kajang Town. See if you can identify the various places.

                                                                Beside TNB Kajang

Jalan Mendaling - the Last Shop on left is "Sea Yea" Temple

This is the Jalan Sungai Chua outside the shop houses from Kajang Garden which has changed to Desa Bunga Raya. The new flyover is standing over this location.

Kg. Jambu, next to the Langat River is the first to be flooded.

"Sea Yea" Temple side view

Kg. Jambu, Sikh Temple beside the railway gate.

The railway bridge over Kajang river, those days its made of iron structure but now replace with concrete. Its location just behind Aked Mara building and TNB Kajang Jalan Reko.

The roundabout between Main Street and Suleiman Street, the old bazaar is on the right. Metro Plaza building is occupying this location.

LLN Kajang now TNB Kajang same location beside Aked Mara building

Railway bridge over Kajang River. Notice the bended railway line cause by the floods.

Kg. Jambu

Railway track towards Kuala Lumpur direction, Kg. Jambu should be on the right and Sg. Chua on the left.

Photo taken from the railway bridge, River View Garden opposite of the "Sea Yea" Temple (back of Jalan Mendaling).

Kajang Roundabout with the National Cinema at the rear. On the left is Chiam Kee Chicken Rice Shop which has moved to Medan Selera (beside Kajang Market). If you are turning from the back of Bank Islam as you approach the Kajang Market there is a bridge on the right and the right has an eatery shop is now the present Chiam Kee Chicken Rice Shop.

The old Kajang Market I believe the present location is the Aked Mara building.

Shell Station just in front of Foh Hup Bus Station (ceased operations) now occupy by Metro Plaza Kajang. This Shell Station has moved to Jalan Semenyih just in front Kajang High School (KHS school field)

Side view of Sin Swee Kee Motor Shop and on the right is MCA office (undergoing construction now)

Side view of "Sea Yea" Temple, the flooded front portion is now the Hockkien Temple.

The former IC department office location.

                     I believe the railway line between Sungai Chua and the Railway bridge.
