KLUANG: The flood that hit several areas in Simpang Renggam here has receded with only one flood relief centre still operational.
State Health, Environment, Education and Information Executive Committee chairman Datuk Ayub Rahmat said the flood receded due to clear weather, allowing for the closure of the relief centres at the Kampung Chokro community hall and the As-Sobirin Mosque in Kampung Shaari.
"Only the relief centre at the Kampung Kolam Air hall is still operational, where 61 people from 13 families are still seeking shelter," he said.
A two-hour downpour last night caused Sungai Chokro and Sungai Benut here to overflow, causing flood in Kampung Chokro, Kampung Shaari and Kampung Kolam Air.
