KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18 — Most temporary flood relief centres (PPS) in Penang, Pahang, Kedah and Perak were closed today as floods improved, with only two remaining in operation in Perak as of 4pm.
In PENANG, Seberang Perai Tengah district officer Datuk Kamarul Haizal Koderat said the only centre at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Seri Penanti in Bukit Mertajam was closed this afternoon, and all 36 victims from 10 families were allowed to return home.
He said the closure followed assessments by the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department and the Malaysian Civil Defence Force, which found the affected area safe for residents to return.
The centre was opened at 8.30pm last night to house evacuees from Kampung Kubang Semang after their homes were flooded due to heavy rain.
