The victims of a mud flood and landslides in Ringlet and Lembah Bertam, Cameron Highlands have been allowed to return and clean up their homes.
Cameron Highlands District Police Chief, DSP Wan Zahari Wan Busu said residents had been allowed to return to their homes on Sunday as the weather had cleared up significantly.
"The Civil Defence Department (JPAM) as well as the Fire and Rescue Department will continue to monitor the situation while the people carry out their cleaning up work.
"However, the victims will only be allowed to return home for good when the authorities are absolutely sure that the situation is safe," he said.
He added that the number of evacuees at the Ringlet evacuation centre as of 9.30am, Sunday stood at 91 people from 28 families.
On Wednesday, residents along Sungai Bertam were ordered to move out when the water at the Sultan Abu Bakar Dam was released in stages due to the rising water level following heavy rain.
The town of Ringlet was inundated by a flash flood when the water from the nearby river overflowed after an hour of heavy downpour.
Five people were killed and five were injured in the incident.
