KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 8 — The number of flood victims in Perak housed in temporary relief centres (PPS) has dropped, while the number of victims in Selangor has slightly increased this evening compared to this morning.
In Perak, the total number of flood victims dropped to 487 people from 140 families, still sheltered in six PPS across Hilir Perak, Manjung, and Bagan Datuk, down from 613 people from 174 families this morning.
The Perak State Disaster Management Committee (JPBN) Secretariat said Hilir Perak recorded the highest number of victims, with 188 people from 50 families in three PPS, followed by Manjung, which houses 157 people from 45 families in two PPS, while 142 people from 45 families are still sheltered at the Dewan Kompleks Belia dan Sukan Bagan Datuk PPS.
All flood victims housed at these PPS for the past three weeks have not been allowed to return home because their residences are still inundated.

In Selangor, the number of victims still at the PPS is 51 people from nine families this evening, compared to 38 people from 12 families this morning.
According to the Social Welfare Department (JKM) Info Bencana website, the victims placed at the Dewan Serbaguna Komuniti Orang Asli Gombak PPS are residents affected by a landslide incident caused by heavy rain in Kampung Orang Asli Batu 12, Gombak, on Wednesday (December 3).
