KUANTAN, Feb 26 (Bernama) -- The organisers of the Le Tour de Langkawi
(LTdL) will hold an emergency meeting to determine whether the routes

Kelantan and Terengganu.
"The meeting is expected to pool together those involved in logistics and the police. The meeting is to decide whether the routes will be safe for the riders. Our main concern and focus is Stage eight and nine. If there is a need, we will have to find an alternative route," LTdL Chief Operating Officer Emir Abdul Jalal told Bernama here, Tuesday.
Stage eight is from Kuala Terengganu to Tanah Merah and Stage nine is from Pasir Puteh to Kuala Berang.
According to reports received by the organiser Tuesday, a number of villages in Kuala Krai, Pasir Puteh and Tanah Merah, have been affected by floods.
