The second wave of flooding has caused even further damage across Malaysia albeit slightly less in comparison to the December flooding. The December flooding saw over 70,000 people displaced. At least 50 people lost their lives in what has been described as one of the worst floods in the country in recent years. On 4 Jan, rising waters forced 5,362 people in Johor alone to evacuate and take shelter in temporary relief centres.

The states of Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Johor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Sabah were impacted by floods, with as many as 8,727 victims moved to 128 relief centres nationwide. A total of 125,490 people have been displaced nationwide due to torrential rain in the past two weeks, according to the National Disaster Management Agency.

Three days of massive torrential rain over the weekend caused severe flooding in eight states, partially submerging towns and villages in water. The flooding has driven thousands from their homes, closed dozens of roads and disrupted shipping. Over 70,000 people are reported to have been displaced. 

Floodwaters in Selangor, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka have made several roads impassable, with reports of people stranded overnight in their cars.

Heavy rains raised water levels in some parts of Selangor in what has been called the heaviest rainfall in the past 100 years. Water level in many areas rose above knee length. Tortoises, snakes and monitor lizards have also crept into flooded homes causing further panic for many residents.
