What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Heavy rains caused the Sungai Linggi river to flood, impacting the Gua Musang district on September 1, 2026. The flooding submerged the Linggi Bridge, which connects about 600 Orang Asli from the Mendriq and Bateq communities in Kampung Pasir Linggi, Pos Lebir. This cut off road access, forcing residents to use boats to leave the settlement. Meanwhile, 81 evacuees from 22 families were sheltered at a temporary relief centre in Gua Musang.
