Police will work with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to find those responsible for spreading false information on the floods.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said these people, whom he described as irresponsible, would be brought to justice.

"They have caused anxiety in the people affected by the floods. I hope the people will not listen to these rumours but get authentic information from the relevant authorities," he said when visiting SK Peramu Jaya near here.

One of the rumours spread over the social media was allegedly about the collapse of a flood relief centre.
