As of yesterday night, no temporary evacuation centres have been opened despite the rising water level.

According to Mohd. Azman Husin, the chief of the Ipoh Fire Department & Rescuer, the heavy rain started around 7:15 PM and continuously poured until 8 PM. It has caused the nearby drain to be filled with excessive water, more than the designated capacity.
