SEREMBAN – Three families comprising 11 people were affected when flash floods hit their homes in Kg Keru, Batu Kikir, Kuala Pilah near here following heavy rains since yesterday evening.
Negri Sembilan Civil Defence Force director Mohd Nazri Mes Kam said the water level rose rapidly as the houses are situated in a low-lying area near the river, but the situation was not critical.
“The water rose to 0.5m but no relief centre was required,” he said in a statement.
In a separate incident, he said three cars plunged into a ravine following a landslide at Taman Bukit Berlian here at 2.15am today, adding that the landslide caused a 30-m-long crack in the road.
“A resident reported hearing the crackling sounds of a short circuit before discovering that an electric pole and three of his cars had fallen into a ravine.
“No one was injured and those living nearby were advised to evacuate,” he said. – Bernama, December 1, 2022
