The aircraft carrying Anwar landed at Sultan Ismail Petra Airport in Pengkalan Chepa at 12.08pm.

He was met on arrival by Kelantan menteri besar Nassuruddin Daud and natural resources and environmental sustainability minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

Also present was National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) director-general Khairul Shahril Idrus.

Anwar is scheduled to visit the Lubok Jong bridge and two temporary relief centres at SK Sri Kiambang in Kampung Repek and SMK (A) Lati in Kampung Banggol Manok, Pasir Mas.

In a Facebook post yesterday, Anwar said he would visit Kelantan today to check on the flood situation currently affecting the state.

Anwar shared the information following his meeting with his Thai counterpart, Srettha Thavisin, in Phuket yesterday.

“We also discussed the current flood situation, and God willing, I will go to Kelantan tomorrow to personally assess the increasingly worrying situation there,” he said.

The latest report issued by Nadma’s National Disaster Command Centre stated that Kelantan has the highest number of evacuees at 21,377 at 68 relief centres in five districts, up from 19,423 at 8pm yesterday.
