The strong water currents during the recent floods in Tumpat caused houses to collapse and damaged vehicles. Many viallges were left inaccesible after water erosion destroyed roads.This left residents who were unwilling to evacuate in a very dangerous situation.
TUMPAT: Police urged villagers to not be stubborn and resist evacuation when requested by authorities because a delay could make a major difference between life and death.
Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said police did not want the statistics of flood fatalities to increase following stubborn residents who refused to move.
