KOTA BARU, Nov 21 — Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud has directed all agencies and elected representatives in Kelantan to take all measures necessary to assist residents in their respective areas following continuous rain that may lead to flooding.

“I urge all Kelantan residents to be aware of the weather conditions. Follow the authorities’ instructions, especially any directive to evacuate, monitor the safety of family members, children and the elderly.
