KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) – Floods in two northeast Malaysian states have now forced almost 23,000 people from their homes and extra relief centres have been opened, rescue officials said Wednesday.
Seasonal flooding hits Malaysia’s east coast states every year and regularly results in mass evacuations.
The latest round has forced authorities to evacuate 10,038 residents from Kelantan and 12,910 people from neighbouring Terengganu, officials said.
