Floods in several parts in Negri Sembilan forced the evacuation of 2,120 residents, says Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.
The Mentri Besar said as of 6pm yesterday, 20 temporary flood relief centres had been opened in four districts to accommodate the victims.
“They are from 578 families in Tampin, Kuala Pilah, Jempol and Port Dickson. “Tampin has the most centres with 11,” he said.
Four centres each have also been opened in Kuala Pilah and Jempol and one in Port Dickson.
The areas affected in Tampin include Gemas, Gemencheh and Tampin town, Johol (Kuala Pilah), Jeram Padang, Rompin, Jelai, Serting Ulu (Jempol) and Linggi (Port Dickson).
Aminuddin said several rivers have also breached the dangerous levels due to continuous rain since Thursday evening.
He said the victims would be provided with the basic necessities at the centres.
“I have directed the district officers to closely monitor the centres to ensure the victims are comfortable.
“I would also like to remind the victims not to return to their homes until authorised by the authorities “he added.
BUKIT MERTAJAM: Majikan diharap dapat bertoleransi dan memberikan pertimbangan sewajarnya kepada pekerja yang terjejas dalam menghadapi situasi bencana seperti banjir.
Menteri Sumber Manusia, Steven Sim, berkata majikan tidak boleh memotong gaji pekerja sewenang-wenangnya kerana perkara itu tertakluk di bawah Akta Kerja 1955 di Semenanjung, dan Ordinan Buruh bagi Sabah dan Sarawak.
"Gaji tidak boleh dipotong kecuali yang dinyatakan dalam undang-undang, contohnya untuk potongan cukai berkala, KWSP, PERKESO dan sebagainya. Jadi, apa-apa potongan gaji harus ikut akta.
"Untuk keadaan banjir dan sebagainya, saya minta kalau ada majikan atau pekerja yang memerlukan bimbingan dari segi penyelarasan kerja supaya tampil atau menghubungi pejabat Tenaga Kerja," katanya selepas Majlis Peluncuran Kampung Angkat MADANI Kesuma Kampung Baru Alma di sini hari ini.
Beliau berkata, Kementerian Sumber Manusia (KESUMA) sedia memberikan khidmat supaya aturan kerja tersusun dan apa jua tindakan khusus semasa bencana seperti gaji dan aturan kerja yang boleh diperincikan secara harmoni.
Sim berkata, pihak kerajaan faham bahawa keadaan bencana ini adalah di luar kawalan semua pihak, maka perlu ada toleransi supaya satu hubungan yang harmoni boleh disemarakkan.
Katanya, pendekatan itu pernah dilakukan sebelum ini ketika terdapat isu gangguan bekalan air apabila kebanyakan majikan dan pekerja tidak faham bagaimana untuk membuat penyelarasan waktu kerja, cuti dan sebagainya.
"Saya minta supaya dia tampil ke Jabatan Tenaga Kerja dan kita akan memberikan khidmat nasihat kepada kedua-dua pihak agar boleh mengekalkan satu kefahaman dan juga memudah cara isu-isu berkaitan dengan pekerjaan di waktu krisis," katanya.
KUALA TERENGGANU: Penduduk yang tinggal di 43 kampung berhampiran 11 muara di negeri ini tidak terjejas walaupun terbabit dengan kejadian air pasang besar, malam tadi.
Berdasarkan stesen cerapan Kuala Terengganu, air pasang besar berlaku selama satu jam bermula 8 malam tadi dengan ketinggian ombak 2.50 meter (m), manakala ombak dengan ketinggian 3.20m berlaku di daerah Kemaman selama satu jam bermula 9 malam.
Pengarah Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS) negeri, Osman Abdullah, berkata tiada laporan banjir pantai dan perpindahan penduduk dilaporkan.
Berdasarkan laporan Pusat Hidrografi Nasional Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM), air laut pasang besar dijangka turut berlaku malam ini. Stesen cerapan Kuala Terengganu turut meramalkan fenomena sama malam ini membabitkan ketinggian ombak 2.50m bermula 8 malam hingga 9 malam.
"Berdasarkan stesen cerapan Kemaman pula, fenomena air pasang besar diramal turut berlaku selama satu jam bermula 9 malam ini dengan ketinggian 3.20m," katanya.
Osman berkata, banjir pantai boleh berlaku jika hujan berterusan serentak dengan air pasang tinggi serta trend air menaik.
"Penduduk berhampiran muara sungai berisiko menjadi mangsa banjir jika pertembungan air berlaku. Ketika air pasang besar semalam, tiada kampung di muara sungai ditenggelami air berikutan tiada hujan, manakala air dari hulu belum mengalir ke laut," katanya.
Tinjauan bersama pegawai serta anggota Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM) negeri diketuai Penguasa Kanan Yusmaredza Mirza Mohd Ali di Kampung Losong Feri, di sini malam tadi, mendapati air hanya naik setinggi kira-kira 0.3 meter.
PETALING JAYA: Netizens have harshly criticised the Kelantan government's proposal to transform the monsoon season, which brings annual floods, into a tourism attraction, calling the idea insensitive and foolish.
According to an FMT report, earlier today, Kamarudin Md Noor, the tourism, culture, arts, and heritage committee chairman, was reported by Astro Awani as saying that the state plans to promote activities such as surfing and traditional monsoon season foods to draw tourists. He mentioned that the state appears "deserted" during the monsoon season due to the lack of tourists.
Users on platform X expressed their disapproval, with one user named Zac reminding Kamarudin that lives are often lost during the floods. "And yet he thinks it (the floods) could become a tourism activity. He is really out of touch," Zac commented.
Another user, identifying as Xavier Naxa, voiced his "second-hand embarrassment" as a Kelantanese. He found it strange that some seemed to celebrate the floods while the residents of Kelantan suffer. "If stupidity could be converted to diamonds, these people would be millionaires," Xavier said.
User eKharus questioned how such leaders get elected. A YouTube user commended the newscaster for maintaining a straight face while reporting the news, while another quipped, "This is not thinking outside the box, but out-of-your-mind."
This evening, it was reported that more than 51,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes due to the floods on the east coast of the peninsula. In Kelantan, the worst-hit state, 42,048 victims are seeking shelter at 189 relief centres in 10 districts.
