KUALA KRAI, Dec 24 — Almost 10 villages in Chenulang, here, are flooded again following heavy rain since yesterday.
A villager in the area, Mohd Riduan Jusoh, 39, said water started rising up to thigh level in the compound of his house at about 1 am today.
“My family had just returned from the flood relief centre (PPS) at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Chenulang last week. Now I have to be prepared again to evacuate if the water continues to rise. I won’t hesitate to evacuate to the PPS again to ensure the safety of my family,” he said when met by Bernama, here today.
Meanwhile, a resident of Kampung Enggong, Jemellah Mamud, 64, said her house had been flooded four times this year because it is in a low-lying.
“I’m always prepared for the monsoon season, with the furniture and electrical appliances already placed on higher ground.
“As always, when it rains I can’t sleep well, what more with my house already affected by floods four time this year. This morning, at about 2 am, the flood water started entering the house,” she said.
A survey by Bernama in the area found some residents have started to move their vehicles to higher ground.
Yesterday, the Malaysian Meteorological Department (METMalaysia) issued a warning of continuous heavy rain (danger level) throughout Terengganu and Kelantan as well as several locations in Pahang until Monday (Dec 25).
