JOHOR BARU: A total of 86 people have been placed at two temporary relief centres (PPS) after their houses were hit by a flash flood around 7pm on Saturday (Aug 20).

The Johor Civil Defence Force said that there are four villages affected by the incidents and the victims have been relocated to the PPS between 7pm and 8pm.

“The two relief centres are Dewan Kampung Melayu Batu 10, Skudai and Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Mutiara. “The victims are from Kampung Laut Batu 10, Kampung Pasir, Kampung Kangkar Tebrau, and Kampung Kenangan. The total number of victims currently stands at 86 people from 29 families,” it said in a statement on Sunday .

APM investigations revealed that the cause of the flash flood was the clogged drainage system in the village. “There was heavy rain around 3pm on Saturday that fell for more than two hours. The water could not flow properly due to the drainage system, thus causing flash floods,” it added.
