JOHOR BAHRU: The temporary evacuation centre at Dewan Sungai Tiram housing residents of Kampung Sungai Tiram, which was hit by flash floods yesterday, has been closed as of 5 pm today.
The Johor Bahru District Disaster Management Committee said that this was after the water level in the area subsided at 7 am today.
As such, it said all 74 victims from 22 families residing in Jalan Batu 10 and Jalan Mak Piah were allowed to return home.
Yesterday, a downpour at about 4 pm as well as piles of wood and rubbish at a nearby river obstructed water flow, causing the river to overflow and inundating the area. –Bernama
