Terengganu: The last of the three temporary relief centres in Terengganu, Bandar Paka JPKK community hall, has closed at 8 pm tonight, marking an end to a series of high tides and huge waves exceeding three metres to have hit the state since Jan 11.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the State Disaster Management Committee (JPBNT) announced that all 299 evacuees from 78 families at the relief centres, including Kuala Kemaman multipurpose hall and Kampung Geliga Pantai community hall, returned home today.

The committee reported that the high tides and waves caused damage to the homes of five families in Kemaman and 14 families in Dungun. Additionally, business owners in Kuala Nerus experienced losses amounting to tens of thousands of ringgit due to severe damage to their shops.

JPBNT highlighted that critical erosion, especially in Kampung Tanjung and Mengabang Telipot, led to the closure of coastal roads. Businesses were compelled to suspend operations for safety reasons.
