KUALA TERENGGANU: The flood in Terengganu subsided further this morning with the number of evacuees down to only 40 people.

He said the victims would be allowed to return home today if the fine weather persisted.

The Sekolah Kebangsaan Tok Jiring evacuation centre was closed at 9.30pm last night.
