“We have observed an upward trend in the water levels of rivers in Gua Musang.

“If the rain continues throughout this evening (yesterday), more areas may get flooded. “Disaster management agencies, including the police and Fire and Rescue Department, are on standby to help with evacuations at any moment.”

“Among the affected areas are Jalan Kampung Pulai, Felda Aring 2, Felda Chiku 2, Jalan Bandar Gua Musang, Kampung Batu 5 and Batu 6.

“Roads in these areas are beginning to flood. “Residents are urged to exercise caution and follow the authorities’ instructions if they are ordered to evacuate to PPS.

“They are advised to bring essential documents, such as their identity cards.” Sik urged parents to closely monitor their children, particularly

when water levels rise in their neighbourhoods, to ensure their safety and prevent unfortunate incidents. The Welfare Department’s Info Bencana portal showed that one PPS was opened in Gua Musang.
