Nov 24, 2025

Residents living near the area that was hit by a landslide in Taman United, Seputeh, have been urged to move to a temporary relief centre.  

Brickfields police say it's for their own safety, as further soil movements have been detected in the area.  

Two nearby roads have since been closed off to traffic. 

The landslide caused a retaining wall to collapse, damaging several cars and vehicles, but no casualties were reported.

People in the northern parts of the Peninsular should brace for more extreme weather conditions over the next few days.  

It's because MetMalaysia has issued an extreme heavy rain alert for Perlis and parts of Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu until Wednesday.

Kelantan has the highest number of evacuees, at over 9,000, while 1,800 people are displaced in Perak and over 700 in Selangor.  

The others are at flood shelters in Terengganu, Perlis, Kedah and Penang.
