I understand that it's part of the same storm system affecting Southeast Asia proper, so I think it deserves to be on this page. --Nicccky — Preceding undated comment added 17:37, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree for Sri Lanka to be included because floods in Java, Indonesia with that in West Malaysia and Southern Thailand was also caused by a different storm system. Wakanebe Wizard (talk) 02:00, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should it be excluded as it's a completely different weather system (a tropical cyclone)? It could be on some other place, such as a potential article about that cyclone, not here. –HTD15:10, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That means the floods at Northern Borneo and the Philippines were a separate weather system from those in the mainland SEA and Sumatra. That means it could go to typhoon's page, not here. The last cyclone isn't exactly a creation of the monsoon. The "Causes" section of this article stipulate that the flooding is caused by the southeast monsoon, not to the typhoon. –HTD10:54, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Correct, same goes to the floods in the Java island. But as this article was named as Southeast Asian floods, it covers the whole. This article still lack of contributor from most Southeast Asian countries, feel free to added more if you know the cause of Philippines floods. Wakanebe Wizard (talk) 11:38, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The scope is presumably limited to only what's found in the "Causes" section. "2014–15 Southeast Asian floods" theoretically could mean any floods that occurred/will occur from 2014 to 2015; of course, that's not the intention of this article, which is limited to the floods caused by the monsoon. –HTD11:52, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The weather in Malaysia is characterised by two monsoon regimes, namely, the Southwest Monsoon from late May to September, and the Northeast Monsoon from November to March. The Northeast Monsoon brings heavy rainfall, particularly to the east coast states of Peninsular Malaysia and western Sarawak, whereas the Southwest Monsoon normally signifies relatively drier weather.
The article mentions of a "southeast monsoon". AFAIK, there is no "southeast monsoon". There's a northeast and southwest monsoon. Either way, either monsoon is a different weather system from the typhoon. –HTD02:59, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
