More than 125,000 people had to evacuate as heavy rain caused massive floods in Malaysia's Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Johor, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan and Sabah, CNN reported in January. The country's annual monsoon season usually brings a lot of rain but this year's unusally heavy rainfall displaced more than 8,000 people, and filled up more than 100 relief centers. At least 50 people died in the floods, the outlet reported, based on a police tweet citing Inspector-General Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.
