Thousands evacuated after floods hit a number of Malaysian states

About 4,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in six flood-hit
Malaysian states, following continuous heavy rain since Friday, said the
country's National Disaster Management Agency on Saturday (Dec 18).

Floodwaters in Selangor, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan and
Melaka have made several roads impassable, with reports of people stranded
overnight in their cars.

The weather has also thrown operations out of schedule at Port Klang, the
country’s leading port.

Several areas in the Klang Valley, including Kuala Lumpur, have not been
spared.

Malaysia’s Meteorological Department on Saturday morning issued a red alert
for continuous torrential rain in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Pahang lasting
the rest of the day.
