IPOH: All the 40 flood victims accommodated at the relief centre at Dewan Chikus Langkap, in Hilir Perak, which was opened since last Sunday, have been allowed to return home today.

A spokesman at the Hilir Perak Disaster Management Committee Secretariat said the Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM), which was monitoring the situation, found that the flood water in the flood-hit areas had receded and the weather was fine.

The flood affected three villages, namely Parit 3, Kampung Batu Pecah, both in Chikus, and Kampung Belakang Kedai, Degong.
