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

Severe flooding in Malaysia has displaced over 122,000 people and caused three deaths. The flooding, concentrated in Kelantan, has led to widespread evacuations.

Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Friday barred his cabinet members from going on leave, after the displacement this week of more than 90,000 people in a growing flood disaster that officials fear could be country's worst in a decade.
