Padang besar: Several major roads in Padang Besar have been temporarily closed to all light vehicles, as of 4 pm today, following continuous rainfall since early morning, which caused water levels to rise.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Padang Besar police chief ACP Mohd Shokri Abdullah stated that the affected routes include Jalan Kaki Bukit Batu 16, Simpang Tiga Kok Mak, the road heading towards Wang Kelian, Jalan Kampung Chantek Kaki Bukit, Jalan Titi Tinggi, Jalan Gua Kelam, and Jalan Kangar-Padang Besar near Agrovet Perlis.

In addition, a landslide occurred along Jalan Wang Kelian due to heavy rain, rendering the route unsafe and fully closed until cleanup work and safety assessments are completed, as noted by Mohd Shokri in a statement today.

Mohd Shokri advised the public to use alternative routes and to follow instructions from the authorities to avoid any safety risks. He assured that Padang Besar PDRM will provide updates from time to time.
