A TOTAL of 10,490 reports have been lodged with Kelantan police by flood victims following the recent deluge of the monsoon season.

State police chief Muhamad Zaki Harun said the most of them came from victims in the Pasir Puteh district (2,879), followed by Bachok (2,132) and Pasir Mas (1,812).

“They are mostly related to loss of valuables with 5,114 reports, followed by damage to houses (4,215), vehicles (619) and livestock (542),” he said at the Wakaf Bharu police station in Tumpat today.

“These reports will be useful for flood victims in validating claims while the authorities can use the records to channel assistance.”

Earlier, Zaki presented a certificate of appreciation and the 2021 Award for Best Housing Management to Wakaf Bharu police station chief Sakri Abd Ghani, after the station won third place out of 799 police stations nationwide.

On a decomposing body found by fishermen at an illegal jetty near Bukit Bunga in Tanah Merah at 3pm yesterday, Zaki said the victim’s identity is still unknown.

“An autopsy revealed that the victim’s head has four gunshot wounds,” he said.

“Kelantan police will contact the authorities of a neighbouring country to help in the investigation.” – Bernama, January 2, 2023.
