Heavy rain in Malaysia has caused severe flooding, displacing over 122,000 people and resulting in three deaths. The situation is particularly critical in Kelantan, where 63% of evacuees are located. Emergency shelters have been established across multiple states. The flooding began earlier this week and is expected to worsen with ongoing storm warnings. The National Disaster Management Agency has set up 679 shelters to assist those affected. Provisions for disaster management have been sent to state governments. In neighboring Thailand, six provinces have also declared a disaster, impacting over 240,000 households.
