Lebih 1,000 Kenderaan Milik Warga Malaysia Terkandas di Hat Yai

Lebih 1,000 kenderaan rakyat Malaysia dipercayai terperangkap di Hat Yai, ekoran banjir teruk yang melanda bandar itu sejak 22 November 2025.

Ketika ditemuramah oleh Berita Harian, Pengerusi Pasukan Bomba Sukarela Sungai Petani (PBS), Leong Beng Tat, menyatakan antara 1,200 hingga 1,500 kenderaan terperangkap dalam banjir tersebut, termasuk motosikal dan kereta yang tenggelam di tempat letak kereta bawah tanah hotel.

Usaha pemulihan terbantut sekatan yang menghalang lori tunda Malaysia memasuki kawasan terjejas.

“Lori tunda Malaysia tidak dibenarkan masuk. Jadi kenderaan terpaksa ditunda lori tunda Thailand sehingga ke sempadan sebelum kami ambil alih,” kata Leong seperti dilaporkan akhbar nasional itu.

Beliau berkata sekatan itu memaksa sesetengah pemilik mengatur tunda sendiri di Thailand, kerana banyak polisi insurans tidak melindungi kejadian di luar negara. Ada juga yang berserah meninggalkan kenderaan mereka kerana kerosakan teruk.

Leong menyatakan pasukannya menerima banyak mesej terima kasih daripada rakyat Malaysia yang diselamatkan sewaktu operasi. Sebanyak 23 pasukan penyelamat sukarela Malaysia dikerahkan membantu mangsa banjir.

“Ramai yang meluahkan rasa syukur. Semua yang kami selamatkan kemudian memberitahu mereka selamat pulang ke rumah,” katanya.

Air banjir di Hat Yai, tambahnya, lambat surut kerana kawasan itu berada di tanah rendah.

Leong juga mengimbau insiden melibatkan mesej palsu yang mendakwa seorang pelancong Malaysia maut.

“Kami terpaksa ketepikan kerja lain untuk mencari, tetapi apabila tiba, tiada kes sedemikian. Menyebabkan hati kecil apabila orang menyebarkan cerita ini,” ujarnya.

Operasi penyelamatan itu sendiri jauh daripada mudah.

“Dua bot kami terbalik akibat arus deras,” kata Leong.

“Kami mempertaruhkan nyawa untuk sampai kepada mereka, tetapi ada yang masih menghantar mesej mengelirukan harapan diselamatkan dahulu.”

Beliau berkata semua mangsa yang mereka temui berada dalam keadaan baik dan jelas lega melihat pasukan penyelamat Malaysia di lokasi.

“Mereka gembira melihat kami di sana, dan bangga dengan usaha yang kami lakukan,” tambahnya. – The Malay Mail

More than 1,000 Malaysian Vehicles Stranded in Hat Yai

More than 1,000 Malaysian vehicles are believed to be stranded in Hat Yai, following a severe flood which submerged the city from 22nd November 2025.

Speaking to Berita Harian, Leong Beng Tat, chair of the Sungai Petani Volunteer Firefighting Team (PBS), said between 1,200 and 1,500 vehicles were caught in the floods, including motorcycles and cars submerged in hotel basement car parks.

Recovery efforts have been hampered by restrictions that prevent Malaysian tow trucks from entering the affected areas.

“Malaysian tow trucks simply aren’t allowed in. So the vehicles have to be moved by Thai tow trucks up to the border before we can take over,” Leong said, as reported by the national daily.

He said the restrictions has left some owners to arrange their own towing in Thailand, as many insurance policies do not cover incidents abroad. There are also those who have resigned themselves to abandoning their vehicles due to extensive damage.

Leong said his team had received numerous messages of thanks from Malaysians who were rescued during the operation. A total of 23 Malaysian volunteer rescue teams were deployed to assist those trapped by the floods.

“Many expressed their gratitude. Everyone we rescued later told us they had made it home safely,” he said.

Floodwaters in Hat Yai, he added, have been slow to recede because the area sits on low ground.

Leong also recalled an incident involving a false message that claimed a Malaysian tourist had died.

“We had to drop other work and go searching, but when we arrived, there was no such case. It’s disheartening when people circulate these stories,” he said.

The rescue operation itself was far from straightforward.

“Two of our boats capsized due to strong currents,” Leong said.

“We risked our lives to reach people, but some still sent misleading messages hoping to be rescued first.”

He said all the victims they eventually reached were in good condition and visibly relieved to see Malaysian rescuers on the ground.

“They were glad to see us there, and proud of the effort we put in,” he added. – The Malay Mail
