The victims from five families were relocated to a shelter after the flash floods and landslides occurred at about 6pm, Sinar Harian reported.
A spokesman for the district disaster management committee said heavy rain turned a nearby river into a surging torrent and rendered soil in several areas unstable.
“Clean-up works are ongoing to ensure it is safe for the families to return home,” he said.
