Close to 1,200 people displaced by recent flooding remain housed at relief centres across Selangor and Perak, according to latest reports from disaster management officials in the two states.
The continued occupation of shelters underscores the scale of the flooding crisis affecting the region, with evacuees unable to return to their homes as cleanup and restoration efforts continue.
Weather forecasters are monitoring atmospheric conditions closely, with the Malaysian Meteorological Department predicting rain and thunderstorms across all districts in Perak this afternoon and through the night. Such precipitation poses fresh risks to flood-affected areas and could complicate recovery operations.
State authorities have maintained shelter operations and supply lines to accommodate evacuees, while cleanup teams work to assess damage and restore basic services to affected communities. Officials have not yet announced timelines for when residents may be able to return to their homes.
