Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:EngvarB Шаблон:Use dmy dates The 1971 Kuala Lumpur floods was a major flash flood disaster in Malaysia that occurred in January 1971. The flooding was the result of heavy monsoon rains,[1] which swelled the Klang, Batu, and Gombak rivers.[2] 32 people were killed and 180,000 people were affected.[3][4] The Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak declared a state of national disaster in Western Malaysia.[4]

The floods were the worst in the country since 1926.[5] As a result of the flooding, the Kuala Lumpur Flood Mitigation Programme was set up.[3]
