Malaysia – Ten individuals have been reported missing after floods in Pahang, with eight of them suspected to have been carried away by two water surge occurrences in Bentong.

Ismail Abdul Ghani, deputy director of operations at Pahang Fire and Rescue Department, said three people, including a six-year-old child, were reported missing last night in an incident at a chalet, while five others went missing in a Telemong incident.

Mohd Halmi Nazlan, 34, who was believed to have been swept away by currents while crossing Jalan Pintasan Kampung Cempaka-Sungai Soi in Kuantan this morning, and Mohd Firdaus Supiardi, 26, who is believed to be mentally ill and jumped into Sungai Belat yesterday, are the remaining two missing.
