Malaysia is preparing for its worst floods in a decade after heavier-than-expected monsoon rains caused severe flooding that killed three people and displaced more than 90,000

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.

Floodwaters rushing through several states in Malaysia after heavy rains this week forced more than 80,000 people to evacuate and left four dead, officials said on Nov. 29.
