Intense rain and flooding have killed several people and displaced over 100,000 across regions of northern Malaysia and southern Thailand. Officials warn this year could bring the worst flooding in a decade to the region.

There are worries in Malaysia and neighbouring Thailand that disastrous flooding could get worse as more rain comes.

The death toll from the worst floods in decades in southern Thailand and northern Malaysia climbed to at least 12 on Saturday, authorities said, as tens of thousands of people were evacuated due to rising water levels in the past three days.
