East Coast floods – KTM cancels 12 train services

It’s been gloomy and wet lately, and unfortunately for some in Peninsular Malaysia, flooded as well. The East Coast states of Kelantan and Terengganu have been particularly badly hit and now, KTM has cancelled 12 train services to the East Coast.

In a statement, KTM said that among the routes that have been cancelled are JB Sentral-Tumpat, Tumpat-JB Sentral, Gemas-Kuala Lipis, Kuala Lipis-Gemas, Tumpat-Kuala Lipis dan Kuala Lipis-Tumpat (starts at Gua Musang).

Also involved are Gua Musang-Tumpat (ends at Dabong), Tumpat-Gua Musang, Tumpat-Dabong, Tumpat-Gua Musang dan Kuala Lipis-Tumpat (ends at Gua Musang).

Reports from earlier today say that due to monsoon season’s constant rain, the number of flood victims have risen sharply, with Kelantan the hardest hit. It all started earlier this week, and as of this morning, the state recorded 61,327 people moved to 230 temporary relief centres. Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor have now also seen floods.

Stay safe, drive safe.
