A total of 134 victims had sought medical attention from general practitioners and various hospitals in the country, including Kuala Lumpur Hospital and Ampang Hospital. 

As of Thursday afternoon, 86 have been discharged while 48 people were still admitted, according to the authorities.

Currently, 157 families consisting of 630 victims remain housed in two temporary evacuation centres – namely at the Putra Heights Mosque and the Subang Jaya City Council Multipurpose Hall.

The remaining 624 victims from 151 families have chosen to find their own accommodation, The Star reported. 

On Thursday, some residents called for clearer on-the-ground communication, claiming that they are still in the dark about when they can return home and what comes next for those who have lost their property.

“What is the government going to do? We are in the dark, asking each other (questions). We don’t know what’s next”, said one resident of the affected housing area Taman Putra Harmoni, as quoted by the Malay Mail.

A total of 85 houses have been deemed safe, and residents were allowed to return home, starting from Thursday, according to the Malay Mail. 

The disaster has caused significant damage to homes, with 87 properties destroyed and deemed beyond repair. Another 148 homes were damaged but are still repairable.

Putra Heights is a well-developed residential area and a highly desirable location for those seeking convenience and access to key parts of the Klang Valley.
