JOHOR BARU: All 356 flood victims who sought refuge at three temporary relief centres (PPS) in Mersing have been allowed to return home, says the Johor disaster management committee. According to the committee, the three centres, which were at SK Pusat Air Tawar, SJK(C) Chiao Ching and SK Labong, were closed at around noon on Saturday (Dec 20). “The weather also appears bright in all 10 districts in Johor,” the committee added.

The affected areas included Kg Baru Air Tawar, Kg Hubong, Kg Belukar Juling, Kg Semaloi and Kg Orang Asli Labong.
