Kelantan has the most number of flood victims, with 7,830 at relief centres, while Penang became the latest state affected by the monsoon floods.

KUALA LUMPUR: Nearly 9,000 people have been evacuated as monsoon floods spread across the northern peninsular states, with Penang and Perak the latest to be affected.

The number of victims at relief centres in Kelantan, Kedah and Perlis continued to rise tonight, but some victims in Terengganu returned home as conditions gradually improved.

In Penang, 128 victims from 30 families in Tasek Gelugor were placed at two centres this afternoon after heavy rain caused the Sungai Jadak to overflow, inundating Kampung Desa Puri and Kampung Simpang Tiga.
