NSTnation: Those staying in low lying and flood prone-areas in Kelantan have been advised to prepare for a second wave of floods that is expected to hit on Dec 25 and 26.
Kelantan police chief Datuk Hasanuddin Hassan said although the situation was now back to normal and temporary evacuation centres closed, residents must constantly be on alert as the flood season was far from over.
“This sort of attitude must change as it makes things difficult for themselves and the rescue teams,” he told reporters at an event to celebrate the retirement of officers, personnel and civillian staff of the Kelantan police contingent here today. Wanting to safeguard their belongings and being used to flood situations were among the reasons given, he said, adding that such attitude only courted danger for themselves.
