Two teenagers have been killed and about 3,100 people displaced as seasonal floods hit northern Malaysia, police said on Monday.
Police officials in Malaysia's Kelantan state said the floods had claimed the lives of a 10-year-old girl on Friday and a 17-year-old boy on Sunday. Both drowned after playing in flood waters near their homes.
'The flood situation has improved as the waters have started to recede,' Azli Noor, the state's police public order department chief told AFP.
'There are 3,095 evacuees remaining in 13 relief centres as of late Monday,' he said, adding that the number was down from about 3,700 recorded on Sunday.
State media have reported that 22 schools in the state remain closed due to the floods, affecting some 10,818 students.
