This is followed by Kota Baru (1,561) and Pasir Puteh (1,386), according to Sinar Harian.

Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat confirmed with the Malay daily that heavy vehicles could still pass as of 1.00pm and assured ongoing monitoring of the situation. Earlier, a viral Facebook post claimed Rantau Panjang was at a standstill, with water levels reaching 10.59 metres, surpassing the danger mark of 8 metres.
