Johor bahru: Flood conditions in Johor have fully eased after the three temporary evacuation centres in Mersing were closed at noon today.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, State Disaster Management Committee chairman Datuk Asman Shah Abd Rahman stated that the three centres were SK Pusat Air Tawar, SJKC Chiao Ching, and SK Labong.

A total of 356 evacuees from 93 families who were housed at these centres have been allowed to return home as floodwaters receded and their residences were deemed safe. Despite this positive development, it was reported that the water level of Sungai Muar at Buloh Kasap, Segamat had exceeded the danger level, with a reading of 8.81 metres.

Datuk Asman also mentioned that weather conditions are forecast to be fair across all 10 districts this afternoon. Mersing was the first district affected by flooding on Wednesday when an evacuation centre was opened following several hours of continuous rain.
