SEGAMAT: Chaah town and its surrounding areas resemble an "island" after roads were inundated with flood waters and it has become a big challenge for agencies including the Fire and Rescue Department to assist flood victims.

Many of the flood victims, including family members outside the area, had to turn to social media, especially Facebook, to request help from the authorities.
