In Penang, the number of flood victims at two relief centres in two districts remained unchanged at 59.
State Environment and Welfare Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh said although the weather was bright as of 1pm on Saturday, flood victims could not return home yet, as their houses have yet to be cleaned.
