Some 104 people from 41 families in Batu Pahat, Johor, have been evacuated to the relief centre in SK Sungai Suloh following a flash flood which was caused by continuous rain since yesterday.

Johor Civil Defence director Mat Zin Bujang said the flood victims from Kampung Sungai Suloh and Sungai Ayam were placed at the relief centre which was opened since 7pm yesterday.

“As of 6am, the weather has not improved and the flood water level has not fully receded due to the high tide and rain.

“However, the relevant authorities are still continuing to monitor the situation,” he said in a statement here today.
