Floods: Third wave fully recedes in T'ganu, evacuees return home


KUALA TERENGGANU: The two remaining temporary relief centres in Terengganu have been closed, marking the end of the third wave of floods in the state.

The state disaster management committee secretariat reported that the centres at Masjid Kampung La and the Kampung Belaoh hall in Besut were closed at 10am Tuesday (Dec 31).

It said that all 44 victims from 12 families at the two centres have been allowed to return home as the floodwaters in their areas have receded and the weather has cleared.

However, residents in the state are advised to remain cautious and stay alert to weather changes, as the north-east monsoon season has not yet ended.

The third wave of floods in Terengganu, which hit on Sunday (Dec 29), saw more than 400 victims evacuated to relief centres in three affected districts – Hulu Terengganu, Besut and Kemaman. – Bernama
