PETALING JAYA: The Rantau Panjang district in Kelantan is experiencing its worst flood in history due to the unfinished flood mitigation works at Sungai Golok.

Kelantan Deputy Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan said Thailand has completed the flood mitigation project on its side of the river, but as Malaysia has yet to complete even its first phase, floodwaters were spilling over and overflowing the riverbanks.
