<p>Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said five days of heavier-than-expected rain that battered the country’s east coast last week was equal to the rainfall over the past six months, wreaking havoc in the north-eastern state of Kelantan and neighbouring Terengganu.</p>
<p>The heavy downpours damaged roads and houses in Kelantan and other parts of Malaysia.</p>

<p>According to the National Disaster Command Centre, about 91,000 people across eight states remain in schools, community halls and relief centres after they were moved out of their homes due to the floods. This is down from about 150,000 evacuees on Sunday. About 88% of the evacuees are from Kelantan and Terengganu.</p>
<p>At least six people died in Malaysia, while the death toll was higher in southern Thailand.</p>
<p>Thailand’s Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation said on Tuesday that 25 people have died in floods in the southernmost part of the country in the past week.</p>
<p>More than 300,000 households have been affected, with many schools and 98 health facilities forced to close. The health ministry said 34,354 evacuees remained at 491 government shelters on Monday.</p>

<p>Although water levels have receded in several provinces, the department also warned of more heavy rain on Thursday, putting the areas further at risk of flash floods.</p>
<p>Authorities have prepared shelter, water pumps, evacuation trucks and boats, and put rescue workers on stand-by to prepare for more downpours.</p>
<p>The floods have affected tourism, with Malaysian officials urging citizens to defer travel plans to southern Thailand, a popular holiday destination.</p>
