Residences on roads that generally see heavy flooding, such as Kan'ba Aisa Rani Hin'gun and Izzuddeen Magu are facing flood damage with the water having flowed inside.
Police and MNDF are working on pumping out the flood waters and even otherwise providing assistance to the public.
In a post on social media, Police said that they are stacking sandbags in doorways to prevent floodwater from entering more premises, as well as assisting in clearing places already affected by the flood.
If in need of assistance due to flooding, Police urge the public to call their 911 hotline.
The MET Office, meanwhile, has issued an Orange Alert to a large part of the country, predicting heavy rains, thunderstorms and flooding.
