  "summary": "The Malaysian news reports on November 9 highlight the ongoing flood situation in various states across the country. In Perak, the number of flood victims has slightly increased to 654 people in temporary relief centres, with 439 people from 130 families in Hilir Perak and 277 victims from 84 families housed at the Teluk Intan Municipal Council Rest House Hall PPS and MPTI Langkap Hall. The Malaysian Meteorological Department predicts rain and thunderstorms in all districts of Perak, with water levels in Sungai Kinta and Sungai Bidor exceeding the danger level. In Selangor, the flood situation has improved, with the number of victims decreasing to 215 people in temporary relief centres, mainly due to two schools housing the affected families. The National Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre has issued alerts for nine districts in Kelantan and several areas in Pahang, Terengganu.",
