A one-year-old toddler and an 85-year-old grandmother were among those rescued from their homes after flash floods struck various parts of the state.

Meanwhile, the Melaka Civil Defence Force confirmed that evacuation centres have been established at SMK Dang Wangi Anum in Jasin and SJK(C) Malim and SK Seri Duyong in Melaka Tengah.

In Jasin, Kampung Kilang Berapi was also inundated due to continuous heavy rainfall.
