KUALA KRAI: Almost 10 villages in Chenulang here in Kelantan have been flooded again following heavy rain.
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 1am yesterday.
“My family had just returned from the flood relief centre (PPS) at 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 told Bernama.
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 area.
“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 being affected by floods four times this year. Floodwaters started entering the house at about 2am,” she said.
On Saturday, the Malaysian Meteorological Department issued a warning of continuous heavy rain (danger level) throughout Terengganu and Kelantan as well as several locations in Pahang until today.
