20 October 2021 (Night), heavy rains continued to fall on the Malay Peninsula's western and northern regions. Over two hours of severe rain created flash floods in at least five Malaysian states, evacuating over 1,000 people. Malacca, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, Perak and others are among the states affected. The Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia start rescue and victims were placed in temporary shelters. Some of these villages have been surrounded by floods and have become "swamp townships". The road was flooded to the point that the water level had reached half a wheel, leading some passing vehicles to become stuck. This will make it difficult for the villagers to get a good night's sleep in order to prevent the situation from getting worse and necessitating reaction steps such as moving electrical equipment to a higher location to reduce water damage.
Flooding occurs when a big amount of garbage and building waste blocks the drainage system. People should be aware of the importance of environmental protection and should not toss trash into rivers to save time. Aside from that, the government should take steps to mitigate the damage caused by floods to residents, such as forming a special task force to oversee drainage design on construction sites and paving high beachfront roads to prevent flooding in fishing village urban areas. The rainy season in Malaysia runs from October to December every year, and as the month approaches, villages would take preparations to avoid mishaps. Disasters, on the other hand, will continue to cause losses to the communities. As a result, citizens and government should collaborate to safeguard the environment and adopt preventative measures.
**Tips：
Do not play in the water during floods or high tides since the flow and speed of the water might vary quickly, endangering your life at any time.
