‘Snow’ on Kesas? It was actually soap foam after heavy rain

Soap foam resembling snow covered a section of the Shah Alam Expressway due to rain washing up residue from a spill over a week ago.

The spill originated from a lorry load on August 24, with initial cleaning efforts conducted using sawdust by firefighters.

Further cleaning was completed after the rain-triggered foam appeared, as videos of the incident, causing concerns about slippery conditions, circulated on social media.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 — What looked like snow covering part of the Shah Alam Expressway (Kesas) yesterday afternoon turned out to be soap foam triggered by heavy rain washing up residue from a spill more than a week ago.

The unusual scene stretched about 500 metres between Kilometre 30 and 30.5 of the Klang-bound-to-Kuala Lumpur side of Kesas and was spotted at about 3.10pm.

Shah Alam district police chief Assistant Commissioner Sarudin Samah said initial investigations found the soap residue likely came from a lorry load that spilled on August 24 near the Kota Kemuning slip road before the vehicle entered Kesas heading towards Klang, Kosmo! Online reported.

“When the spill happened, firefighters took action by spreading sawdust along the affected stretch to clean up the soap residue,” he said in a statement last night.

“However, heavy rain today caused the remaining soap residue to produce foam along about 500 metres of the highway,” he added.

Sarudin said the highway concessionaire subsequently carried out a second round of cleaning, which was completed at 4.58pm today.

The white-covered stretch attracted attention on social media, with motorists sharing videos showing what appeared to be a snow-covered roadway.

The videos showed a white liquid coating the road surface, with tyre tracks visible from vehicles that had passed through the affected area.

The incident also raised concerns among road users, particularly motorcyclists, over reports that the road had become slippery.

由于一周多前发生的泄漏事故造成的残留物被雨水冲刷，莎阿南高速公路的一段路面被类似积雪的肥皂泡沫覆盖。

泄漏事件源于 8 月 24 日的一辆货车，消防员最初使用锯末进行了清理工作。

雨水引发的泡沫出现后，相关视频在社交媒体上流传，引发了人们对路面湿滑的担忧，随后进行了进一步的清理工作。

吉隆坡，9月4日讯——昨天下午，莎阿南高速公路（Kesas）部分路段看似积雪的景象，实际上是暴雨冲刷一周多前泄漏的残留物而引发的肥皂泡沫。

这一不寻常的景象从巴生方向开往吉隆坡方向的 Kesas 铁路 30 公里处延伸到 30.5 公里处，绵延约 500 米，大约在下午 3 点 10 分被发现。

据 Kosmo! Online 报道，莎阿南警区主任助理警监 Sarudin Samah 表示，初步调查发现，肥皂残留物很可能来自 8 月 24 日在哥打哥文宁匝道附近泄漏的一辆货车，当时这辆车正驶入 Kesas 公路，前往巴生方向。

“泄漏发生后，消防员立即采取行动，在受影响的路段撒上锯末来清理肥皂残留物，”他昨晚在一份声明中说。

“然而，今天的大雨导致残留的肥皂在高速公路约 500 米的范围内产生了泡沫，”他补充道。

萨鲁丁表示，高速公路特许经营商随后进行了第二轮清理工作，于今天下午 4 点 58 分完成。

这段被白雪覆盖的路段在社交媒体上引起了关注，驾车者们分享的视频显示，路面似乎被雪覆盖了。

视频显示，路面上覆盖着一层白色液体，可以看到驶过受影响区域的车辆留下的轮胎痕迹。

该事件也引起了道路使用者，特别是摩托车骑手的担忧，有报道称路面变得湿滑。
