Massive flooding caused by heavy rains in Malaysia has forced more than 122,000 people from their homes across the country.
Disaster officials said three people also died.
There are fears this number could rise as warnings for heavy rain and storms remain in force.
Thousands of emergency workers have been deployed to help rescue stranded people and shelters are being provided.
Videos show cars and houses submerged, and people wading through waist-deep water.
The flooding, which started earlier this week, is mainly concentrated in the northeastern state of Kelantan, which borders Thailand.
There, the National Disaster Management Agency says evacuees make up 63% of the total number.
So far, the number of displaced people has surpassed that of 2014, when one of the country’s worst floods occurred.
The disaster agency has set up 679 emergency shelters for those affected.
Also affected are Terengganu, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan, Perlis, Selangr, Johor, Melaka and Perak.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, disaster management facilities have been sent to the Terengganu and Kelantan state governments.
On Friday, he banned his cabinet members from going on leave so they could focus on the disaster.
In neighboring Thailand, six provinces have declared disaster, and flooding is affecting more than 240,000 households, according to the Ministry of the Interior.
The army has been deployed to rescue people in need.
The monsoon season in Malaysia starts in November and flooding is not uncommon.
In 2021, the country experienced some of its worst flooding in decades, killing at least fourteen people.
