Kelantan Floods Worsen

Nov 23, 2025

The number of flood evacuees in Kelantan has surged past 2,500.  

According to the Social Welfare Dept's portal, they're housed in temporary shelters in Kota Bharu, Bachok and Tumpat. 

Meanwhile, another 300 people have been evacuated in Terengganu, while 30 are displaced in Kedah.  

JKM's portal also showed one flood shelter being activated in Perlis, but there are no evacuees yet. 

This, as Kelantan's Education Dept advised SPM candidates in flood prone areas to relocate to hostels for the time being. 

It's to ensure they can focus on their exams without any interruption.
