The Malaysian government has said three people have died and more than 80,000 have been evacuated from floods across several Malaysian states this Friday.
Deputy Prime Minister and National Disaster Management Committee chairman Ahmad Hamidi says the floods are expected to be more severe than in 2014, when nearly a quarter of a million people were forced from their homes
Hamidi says given the severity of the situation, all parties have been mobilised to ensure the safety and welfare of flood victims.
He says that the government has deployed over 82,000 security personnel as well as rescue boats, four-wheel drive vehicles and helicopters.
