Severe Weather Causing Flooding across Pahang and Johor

Caution

Country: Malaysia

Location: Pahang and Johor States

Ongoing heavy rainfall has led to renewed and persistent flooding across parts of Pahang and Johor, resulting in the displacement of residents, the activation of relief centres, and transport disruptions. Rising river levels have exceeded alert and warning thresholds at several monitoring points, prompting evacuations in affected communities and temporary road closures due to flooding, slope instability, and infrastructure safety concerns. While conditions vary by district, the overall flood risk remains active, and authorities indicate that further localised flooding is possible over the next 24-72 hours if rainfall continues.   Advice:
  • If in Pahang or Johor, avoid low-lying areas, floodplains, and roads near rivers, even if conditions appear calm.
  • Do not attempt to cross flooded roads or bridges, as water depth and structural stability may be uncertain.
  • Keep essential items ready: documents, medication, water, food, and power banks in case of sudden displacement.
  • Follow instructions from local authorities and relocate promptly if evacuation notices are issued.
  • Monitor official weather and disaster management updates for district-level warnings and changes in conditions.

Violence Disrupts Traders’ Protest in Dhaka

Caution

Country: Bangladesh

Location: Dhaka, Karwan Bazar, and the immediate surrounding streets

A peaceful human chain protest organized by traders at Karwan Bazar was attacked at approximately 11:30 local time. The protest was held to oppose alleged extortion targeting traders in the area. A group of individuals assaulted participants, injuring several traders and forcing the initial gathering to disperse. Protesters later regrouped and retaliated using sticks, after which the attackers fled the area. The situation has since de-escalated, but tensions remain elevated. Increased security presence and sporadic disruptions are possible over the next 48 hours, particularly if further protests or counteractions occur.   Advice:
  • Avoid Karwan Bazar and adjacent areas until the security situation fully stabilizes.
  • If already nearby, leave the area calmly using main roads and avoid side streets where confrontations may recur.
  • Expect possible police deployment, roadblocks, or temporary closures around markets and commercial hubs.
  • Do not engage with protests or counter-groups, even if gatherings appear small or peaceful.
  • Monitor local media and official statements for updates on further demonstrations or security measures.
