KOTA BHARU: A total of 11 electricity substations have been shut down due to the worsening flood situation around Kota Bharu, Machang and Tanah Merah.
In a statement on its Facebook page, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) said that the electricity supply was turned off for safety reasons.
“Among the areas where electricity supply has been switched off in Kota Bharu are G-Orange, Sekolah Kebangsaan Kadok and Taman Sri Kulim, while in Pasir Puteh, the affected areas are DPS 9-12, BELB Sungai Gali, Tasek Pauh Brick Factory and Yik Tualang Tinggi.
“In Tanah Merah, it involves Manal 1 & 2, Manal Baru and Manal Wood Factory. Areas in Machang affected include Kampung Tandak, Machang Indah, Limau Hantu, Taman Sri Kelaweh, Taman Setia Kasih, LPT Tok Coba and Wakaf Indah,” it said.
TNB also urged the public to remain cautious amid heavy rain and flood risks.
“The public should stay away from electricity installations that are submerged in flood water due to the possibility of current leakage,” it said.
Separately, three offices of the Pasir Mas district council (MDPM) have been temporarily closed due to flooding in the area.
MDPM said the three offices involved were Lubok Jong, Rantau Panjang branch and Tasek Raja Market.
“All MDPM staff will be working on a ‘work from home’ basis until further notice,” it said in a statement.
MDPM apologised for any inconvenience caused and encouraged residents to reach out via email at mdpm@kelantan.gov.my for any enquiries. - FMT
