Third Wave Of Flooding In Terengganu Over 

According a statement from the Terengganu State Disaster Management Committee (JPBN) Secretariat, the three PPS were Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Chendering here, as well as SK Tok Jembal and SK Kompleks Mengabang Telipot in Kuala Nerus.

The statement said fair weather in most areas today allowed residents to clean their homes and return to their respective residences.

Continuous heavy rain last Friday forced nearly 500 residents in three districts — Kuala Nerus, Kuala Terengganu and Dungun — to evacuate to four PPS.

However, JPBN said it remains on standby for any possible recurrence of flooding as the Northeast Monsoon (NEM) has yet to end.

The flood episode in Terengganu began on Nov 22, with more than 10,000 victims evacuated to over 500 PPS in eight districts, before fully subsiding on Dec 2.

This was followed by a second wave of flooding that affected six districts from Dec 14 to 21.
