KUANTAN: Continuous heavy rain lasting over two hours triggered flash floods in the Habu Heights area of Cameron Highlands on Monday (April 20).
Cameron Highlands OCPD Supt Azri Ramli said heavy downpour from 2pm in the hilly terrain resulted in a swift flow of muddy water onto the Ringlet main road.
"The runoff from hilly areas surged onto the main road, causing flash floods. However, the situation remained under control, and the waters fully receded by around 4pm," he said when contacted.
Azri said that, while no casualties were reported, two police reports have been lodged regarding vehicles that were moved by strong currents.
"The involved vehicles were only pushed forward by the force of the water, and no injuries were reported," he said.
He added that the affected locations have since been cleared and are now safe for all road users. - Bernama
