THE year-end floods of 2014, otherwise known as the Yellow Flood, displaced more than 100,000 people and caused some RM30 billion worth of damage in Kelantan. This was the worst recorded flood in Kelantan since the big flood in the state in 1967.

The National Security Council said a total 37,499 people or 8,416 families were moved to 146 emergency centres in 2014. The Kelantan government disclosed that 2,374 houses were deemed completely destroyed. The worst-hit areas were Kuala Krai (1,850 houses), Gua Musang (406), and Machang (51).

The PAS state government and the federal government said they would allocate land and homes to the victims left homeless by the floods, however, until now, there are still victims left in limbo.
