IPOH, Sept 17 (Bernama) -- A total of 18 houses and a mosque were affected by a storm and strong winds in the Pantai Remis area of Manjung today.
The Manjung District Civil Defence Force (APM) Operations Control Centre (PKOD), in a statement tonight, said it received information on the incident at 8.56 am via WhatsApp from the District Disaster Management Committee (JPBD) group.
“The incident occurred at about 12.30 am following continuous heavy rain and strong winds. APM personnel were deployed to the scene at 12.20 pm and arrived at Al-Aliah Mosque at 1.15 pm.
“Checks found that several roofs involving the mosque and residents’ houses, including in Taman Nelayan 2, Jalan Pengkalan Baru and Kampung Cina, were damaged and leaking,” the statement said.
