RUMOURS can spread like wildfire, especially when it comes to potential flood risks.
Recent posts on social media have claimed that Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) is planning to release water from the Pergau Dam.
But is it true that TNB is releasing water from this dam in Kelantan?
Verdict:
FALSE
TNB has denied claims circulating on social media that it will release water from the Pergau Dam in Kelantan.
In a statement, TNB clarified that the water level at the dam is currently normal and under control.
"The management of the station has also informed relevant government agencies and the Jeli District Disaster Committee about the current status of the dam," TNB added.
The public is advised not to spread false information that could cause unnecessary concern within the community.
