More than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.

The wooden bridges across the river had been swept away. The town is cut off by floodwaters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is now two metres deep. It is closed to all traffic.

Flood first appeared at mid­afternoon yesterday along the riverbanks. People struggling to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims had to leave all their things behind.

The news was reported to the National Flood Relief (救济) Center and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers.

The flood victims are now housed in various simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang.
