Kedah Flood Evacuees May Return Home Tomorrow If Rainfall Ceases

Flood victims currently housed in two relief centres in Kedah are likely to be permitted to return to their homes tomorrow, contingent upon no further rainfall occurring overnight. This assessment comes from Major (PA) Muhammad Suhaimi Mohd Zain, chief of the Kedah Civil Defence Force Disaster Management Secretariat.
Evacuees at Two Kedah Relief Centres

As of the evening of November 17, the number of flood evacuees in Kedah had significantly decreased to 26 individuals from five families. These remaining victims are situated in two operational relief centres: Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Titi Gajah in Kota Setar and SK Malau in Kubang Pasu.
Conditions for Return

Major (PA) Muhammad Suhaimi Mohd Zain indicated that the temporary shelters are expected to close and allow victims to go home the following day. However, this outcome is conditional on the cessation of rain throughout the night.
Current Shelter Populations

Specifically, SK Titi Gajah is currently accommodating six evacuees, comprising one family. SK Malau, in Kubang Pasu, is housing 20 individuals from four families. These figures represent the remaining evacuees after an earlier total of 249 victims from 81 families had been displaced.
