KOTA BARU: The number of flood victims who were evacuated at two relief centres in Kelantan remained at 76 this morning.
The evacuates who were from 19 families, are now taking shelter at two centres in two districts.
Forty-four of them were evacuated at SMK Bachok while another 32 at SK Gual Tok Deh in Rantau Panjang.
As the flood situation slightly improved this morning with only light rains hitting the state since last night, the water level of the Golok River, has also dropped.
The Golok River is a river that lies on the border between Malaysia and Thailand.
Flooding caused by torrential rains in Malaysia usually drives residents living close to rivers from their homes and forces the closure of schools and roads.
The Malaysian Meteorological Department has forecast the northeast monsoon season, which began on Nov 5, to last until March 2025, with five to seven episodes of heavy rainfall expected in Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Johor, Sarawak and Sabah.
