Selangor flood victims surge to 848 as situation improves in Perak

Selangor recorded 848 victims affected by ongoing flooding, marking a significant rise in the number of people impacted by the disaster across the state.

In contrast, the situation in Perak has begun to stabilize, with authorities reporting a decrease in affected residents. The number of flood victims in Perak dropped to 348 people, down from 410 recorded earlier in the day, suggesting that relief and evacuation operations are yielding positive results in the northern state.

The divergent trends between the two states underscore the uneven impact of the flooding across the region. While Perak's improving conditions indicate that water levels may be receding in certain areas, Selangor's rising victim count suggests that floodwaters continue to affect more communities, with rescue and relief operations ongoing.

Authorities in both states have maintained active disaster response efforts, with emergency services coordinating evacuations and providing assistance to displaced residents. The situation remains fluid, with officials continuing to monitor water levels and provide real-time updates to affected communities.
