According to the National Disaster Management Agency, the victims come from 120 families. They are being housed in the Putra Heights Mosque and Subang Jaya City Council multipurpose hall.

This is a significant increase from the 364 people from 74 families evacuated as of 11pm yesterday.

Separately, women, family and community development minister Nancy Shukri ordered the social welfare department to open several more relief centres.

She said the victims at the Putra Heights Mosque could not remain there for a long period, making more relief centres necessary.

“We will discuss further what we can do,” she said, according to Bernama.

Nancy said a one-stop social support centre truck had been mobilised to relief centres to provide counselling and psychological assistance for the victims.

She also urged the public and organisations hoping to make donations to hold off for now due to space constraints at the relief centres.
