In a statement today, DID said those areas are Sg Bera bridge and waterfront, Sg Kundang in Maran, Lubuk Pasu and Kuala Krau in Temerloh.
“It is advised that the residents be prepared and always be vigilant. Please follow the authorities’ instructions for further action,” it said.
Meanwhile, the water level in Paloh Hinai along Sg Pahang is on a warning alert and residents are advised to do the same – be prepared and always be vigilant.
For the record, Pahang central township of Mentakab has been crippled with floodwaters, which has inundated the industrial and business areas throughout the district.
The deluge is the worst flooding the town has seen in decades.
The disaster has disrupted power supply in the area, which was cut off by Tenaga Nasional Bhd for safety reasons.
