The tropical Southeast Asian Nation was hit by bouts of bad weather over the weekend, as continuous rain swamped towns on the peninsula’s east coast.
Addressing the recent flooding, Prime Minister, Ismail Yaakob said authorities were being mobilized to evacuate victims.
Yaakob said Malaysia often sees stormy weather at this time of the year, with seasonal flooding regularly causing mass evacuations.
He noted that 11,831 people were housed in flood relief centres in the northern states of Kelantan and Terengganu, adding that those affected are being rescued and taken to safer places.
