Heavy rain forces road closures and a landslide in Padang Besar

Authorities have blocked multiple roadways in Padang Besar to light traffic after persistent downpours caused water levels to surge throughout the region. Padang Besar police chief ACP Mohd Shokri Abdullah identified Jalan Kaki Bukit Batu 16, Simpang Tiga Kok Mak, the Wang Kelian route, Jalan Kampung Chantek Kaki Bukit, Jalan Titi Tinggi, Jalan Gua Kelam, and Jalan Kangar-Padang Besar near Agrovet Perlis among affected passages.

A hillside collapsed along Jalan Wang Kelian, forcing complete closure until crews complete debris removal and structural evaluations. Mohd Shokri urged motorists to seek alternate routes while following official guidance to prevent accidents. Local police pledged regular status updates as conditions evolve.
