KUANTAN – Several areas in Raub district, about 198km from here, have been struck by floods after hours of rain since yesterday evening.

District police chief Kama Azural Mohamed told Bernama that the heavy rain, which started about 6pm yesterday, affected Jalan Dato Abdullah, Taman Raub Jaya 3, Jalan Tras and the area in front of TM Point, and uprooted a tree in Jalan Taman Melati.

The old bus station and shops in the area were inundated with floodwaters, he said, but no evacuations were carried out.

Roads in the area were not closed, and as the rain eased last night, the floodwaters subsided, he said, adding that police will continue monitoring the affected areas. – Bernama, December 27, 2020
