Severe Flooding in Malaysia Displaces Over thousands, Claims Three Lives

Disaster management officials have confirmed three fatalities, warning that the numbers may rise as heavy rainfall and storm warnings persist.

Emergency services have deployed thousands of personnel to conduct rescue operations, while 679 shelters have been established to accommodate those displaced.

Videos circulating online depict submerged vehicles and homes, with residents wading through waist-deep floodwaters to reach safety.

Kelantan, a northeastern state bordering Thailand, has been the hardest hit, accounting for 63% of the displaced population. Other affected states include Terengganu, Kedah, Perlis, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Johor, Melaka, and Perak.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has announced additional disaster relief supplies for Kelantan and Terengganu. He has also barred cabinet members from taking leave to ensure the government remains focused on managing the crisis
