PENAMPANG (Sept 11): A man has been reported missing after a mudslide destroyed his home in Kampung Sarapung here this evening.
The incident happened around 6pm during heavy rain, when a mudslide from a nearby hill crashed into the house, trapping the victim and a woman.
Villagers managed to rescue the woman from the rubble, but the man remains unaccounted for.
Penampang Fire and Rescue Station chief Zeno Tinggalan said an emergency call was received at 6.10pm.
He added that rescue personnel were facing difficulties reaching the site due to the mudslide.
“The identity of the victim has not yet been obtained and the search-and-rescue (SAR) operation is still ongoing,” he said in a statement.
PETALING JAYA: Continuous heavy rain since this afternoon has flooded Sultanah Aminah Hospital in Johor Bahru today.
Berita Harian reported that in a four-minute, 25-second video shared online, hospital staff could be seen carrying hospital equipment and motorcycles out of a flooded building.
Several social media users said in the comments that their homes and workplaces have also similarly been struck by flash floods, including in Kulai.
New Straits Times reported the hospital as saying Bangunan Lily, which houses the psychiatry and mental health specialist clinic, was inundated at about 4pm due to a drainage failure.
It said the situation was brought under control by 4.45pm, and cleaning had been completed.
State health and environment committee chairman Ling Tian Soon visited the site to inspect the situation, and the Johor Civil Defence Force later confirmed that floodwaters at the hospital had fully receded.
Ling said the heavy rain, which started at around 2pm and only receded by 6.30pm, had caused “waterfalls” into the low-lying building.
“Based on data from the Johor Bahru irrigation and drainage department, rainwater levels were recorded as exceeding 70mm.
“The department will propose the construction of a small drain by the roadside to channel water directly into the drainage system,” he said.
