Flood Hits Johor, Disrupts Train Services JOHOR BAHARU, Dec 19 (Bernama) -- Thousands of people have been evacuated after floods hit several districts in Johor following incessant heavy rain that began Monday morning. The rain also triggered minor landslides and disrupted train services in the southern sector. A police spokesman said over 2,000 residents in Batu Pahat, Pontian, Johor Baharu and Kota Tinggi had been told to leave their homes in stages from midnight. In Batu Pahat, five families from Kampung Parit Haji Kamisan in Yong Peng, sought shelter at the village civic hall and Yong Peng community hall while four families from Kampung Parit Daun in Parit Raja fled to the Penghulu Mukim 8 complex. Also evacuated were three families from Kampung Parit Jambul to Sekolah Kebangsaan Pintas Puding and 19 families from Kampung Seri Paya to the village's civic hall. In Pekan Nenas, Pontian, 20 families from Kampung Paya Embun were told to seek higher grounds while seven families from Kampung Melayu Raya took shelter at a school there. In Kota Tinggi, nine families from Kampung Sungai Berangan and 11 families from Kampung Paya Sungai Redan were evacuated to the villages' civic halls. Floods also hit Kampung Bentong Dalam, Kampung Melayu and Yap Tau Sah in Kluang. In Johor Baharu, a District Office spokesman said several relief centres were opened Tuesday morning. There were 22 evacuees from Kampung Melayu Sengkang, Kulai; 722 from Kampung Laut Batu 10, Skudai; 170 from Lorong Arif, Taman Tun Aminah; 113 from Kampung Sungai Besui; 243 from Kampung Maju Jaya Sedenak; 200 from Kampung Oren, Tiram; 102 from Kampung Mohd Amin; 150 from Kampung Kangkar Tebrau; and 200 from Kampung Pasir Tebrau. Other areas affected were Kampung Paya Kenangan Tebrau (150 evacuees), Kampung Plentong Baru (200), Kampung Sentosa/Sentosa Barat (100), Kampung Rinting Masai (200) and Batu 10 Sungai Tiram (30). Eleven families from Kampung Paya Nam Heng, Tiram, and 15 families from Kampung Mados 19 were also evacuated. The rain also caused the closure of Jalan Kolam Air in this city for fear of a landslide. Civil Defence Department personnel there had been told to be on alert should a landslide occur. Massive traffic jams were reported on major roads from Skudai to the city centre as well as in the city. KTM Berhad said in a statement: "Due to the heavy rain, minor landslides occurred at several spots at Km630.50Km630.75 of the Labis-Bekok route, Km754.50-Km754.75 of the Johor Baharu-Kempas route and Km769.50Km769.75 of the Bukit Timah-ClQ Woodlands route in Singapore earlier today. "All southbound trains are unable to proceed because of this situation. Passengers will be transhipped using buses between stations that are not affected by floods or landslides in order to continue their journey." It said the transhipment exercise was expected to be time-consuming as the roads in and around Johor Baharu were flooded. The affected services were the Ekspres Timuran Tumpat-Singapore, Ekspres Rakyat Singapore-Kuala Lumpur, Ekspres Sinaran Pagi Kuala LumpurSingapore, Ekspres Sinaran Petang Singapore-Kuala Lumpur and Mail Train NO. 61 Gemas-Singapore.
