“The water level was estimated to be about 0.1 meters. During a monitoring operation, a family requested assistance to be relocated due to water entering their home.
“Personnel from the Teluk Intan Fire and Rescue Station, along with the Village Chief, evacuated the victims — a disabled teenage boy and his mother — to Dewan Arena Kampung Attaduri, Langkap.
