KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 — The number of flood evacuees in Kedah has dropped, while that in Perak remains unchanged this morning.
In Kedah, the State Disaster Management Committee (JPBN) said the number of evacuees had decreased to 259 families from 60, compared with 264 families from 61 last night.
All evacuees from the Pendang district remain housed at two temporary relief centres (PPS), namely the Tanah Merah Sports Friends Complex Hall and SK Tunku Intan Shafinaz.
In Perak, the JPBN Secretariat said the number of flood evacuees housed at SAR Padang Serai in Manjung remained at 124 people from 33 families.
The evacuees from Kampung Padang Serai have been accommodated at the centre since October 23, as floodwaters in the village have yet to recede fully.
Meanwhile, the Irrigation and Drainage Department said the water level of Sungai Kinta in the Kinta district was at the warning level, recording 248.02m, exceeding the normal level of 243.5m.
