Meanwhile, the PPS at Dewan Residensi PR1MA Woorford Estate in Beaufort was closed at 4pm.

The centres were officially closed after inspections confirmed that the affected areas and homes were safe for residents to return.

"Several villages in Beaufort, however, remain affected by the floods," it said in a statement.
