KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 — Flood evacuees in Selangor have surged to 583 people, more than doubling previous figures as heavy rainfall continues to impact the state. The sharp increase reflects the worsening conditions affecting multiple districts as water levels rise across residential and low-lying areas.
The evacuation efforts have been coordinated by state authorities and relief agencies, with evacuation centres opened to accommodate displaced residents. The scale of the displacement underscores the severity of the current weather pattern affecting the Klang Valley and surrounding regions.
In contrast, Perak has reported a modest improvement in its flood situation, with evacuation numbers beginning to stabilise. Authorities in the northern state indicated that water levels in key affected areas have started to recede, allowing some residents to return to their homes.
The divergent trends across the two states highlight the unpredictable nature of the monsoon season flooding. Emergency services across both states remain on high alert, with weather forecasts being closely monitored to anticipate further developments.
