KUALA LUMPUR – Countless efforts to help flood victims have emerged online and similarly, Muda announced in a press statement today that it has managed to raise a staggering RM1,045,600 in donations in less than 100 hours for its Flood Victims Relief movement.

The Flood Victims Relief was launched on December 18 with the goal of helping more than 10,000 families affected by the recent flash floods.

The money, which was all donated by Malaysians, will be utilised for rescue missions for more flood victims, purchasing basic necessities and personal hygiene items, food as well as to clean up the aftermath of the floods.

The statement ensured that all the proceeds will be used only for flood victims, and that the transparency and integrity of fund management will be maintained.

“Every ringgit and sen donated will 100% be used for the flood victims.

“These contributions will also go through an audit process to ensure the transparency and integrity of money management is maintained,” Muda said.

It added that it had launched the Volunteer Call programme for those interested in helping out in flooded areas.

In addition, Muda expressed its gratitude to everyone, including those from the Muda Flood Mission Committee and Muda members nationwide who had lent a hand. 

Similarly, Twitter user @NoFutur3_ announced that they had raised crypto-donations of 37.34BNB, worth RM83,367.00, for flood victims.

In the tweet, the user said that they managed to raise the money through crypto- and NFT enthusiasts, and that they are currently in the process of distributing the funds.

“More than 50k already being distributed. And we are still working on it”, @NoFutur3_ said. – The Vibes, December 20, 2021
