Impact edit

Malaysia edit

Tropical Depression 29W dropped torrential rainfall over parts of Malaysia, causing major flooding.[1] In the state of Perak, flash flooding forced more than 500 residents to flee their homes.[2] Flooding affected five villages in the Perak Tengah and Hulu Perak districts, where 14 residences were flooded in the latter. Nearby, the Sadang River overflowed its banks due to excessive rainfall.[3] A total of 24 people had to be rescued in Kampung Malau.[4]
