Muar police chief Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz, however, said floodwaters in the area, which is located about two metres from the sea, began to recede at about 10am.

Earlier today, a 43-second video clip went viral showing floods in several areas in the district.

“The video was first detected on social media at 10am today. The police, civil defence force and village headman rushed to Kampung Parit Kedondong Laut, Parit Jawa.

“None of the residents, however, had to be evacuated,” he said in a statement.
