PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is currently facing its sixth episode of continuous heavy rains from the monsoon runoff brought about by the North East Monsoon (NEM).

"If El Nino is recognised, it will cause the situation to be worse than usual. "While it is still MTL, the possibility of heavy rain and flooding is still there, so people need to continue to be cautious," he said. The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) director-general, Muhammad Helmi Abdullah, said although this sixth episode is probably the last to bring heavy rain, there is still a possibility that rain and flooding will continue in some areas right into March and April.
