“All evacuees were allowed to go home after the water in the area receded and it was safe for them to return home,” it said in a statement today.
Johor has been hit by floods since Jan 24, involving eight districts – Pontian, Kota Tinggi, Kluang, Segamat, Mersing, Batu Pahat, Muar and Tangkak – affecting more than 5,000 residents.
