KANGAR, Nov 23 (Bernama) -- Several major roads in Padang Besar have been temporarily closed to all light vehicles, as of 4 pm today, following continuous rainfall since early morning, which caused water levels to rise.

“In addition, a landslide occurred along Jalan Wang Kelian due to heavy rain, rendering the route unsafe and fully closed until cleanup work and safety assessments are completed,” he said in a statement, today.

“Padang Besar PDRM will provide updates from time to time,” he added.
