Malaysia's diplomatic mission in Songkhla has instructed citizens stranded by flooding in Hat Yai to gather at their hotel lobbies as authorities prepare evacuations to safer zones. Consul General Ahmad Fahmi Ahmad Sarkawi confirmed that coordination with Thai officials is underway while waters have dropped from chest height to knee level, though persistent rainfall continues hampering rescue efforts.
A specialized task force at the consulate is tracking the whereabouts of approximately 4,000 affected nationals, all reported safe. Local hotel associations have mobilized support, delivering 2,000 prepared meals via truck to displaced travelers. Ahmad Fahmi toured a food preparation facility with the Hatyai-Songkhla Hotels Association president as relief operations expanded across the flooded southern Thai city.
