Rohaimi said the roads connecting the two East Coast states with Terengganu including the East Coast Expressway 2 (LPT2) and Jalan Pantai from Kemaman to Besut were still passable as of 8 pm.

He said so far, only a few roads in three districts, namely Setiu, Dungun and Besut were impassable after being flooded since 8 am today.

"In Setiu, the road stretch that cannot be passed is KM67-68 of Jalan Kuala Terengganu-Kota Bharu which is near the Kampung Balik Bukit Petronas station and is closed to light vehicles.

"Motorists can use alternative routes, namely via Jalan (Jln) Batu Rakit-Pantai Penarik-Saujana-Kuala Besut-Tok Bali-Bachok," he said in a media statement tonight.
