Sanusi advises residents at foothills of Gunung Jerai to be vigilant for water surges

Heavy rain and flooding caused the road leading up to Gunung Jerai to collapse. Sanusi warned residents in the area to keep watch for storm surges as rains continued to pound the state.

SIK (Bernama): Residents at the foothills of Gunung Jerai in Kedah have been asked to remain vigilant for water surges during bad weather as heavy rain has been pounding the state over the past few days.

Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said the water surge incident that occurred last month resulted in the river becoming shallow and if a similar incident happened again, the waters would easily overflow into the surrounding area.
