KUALA LUMPUR – Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah went out to observe the flood situation in the capital last night.
Pictures of His Majesty wading through floodwater near the World Trade Centre here were shared via a post on Istana Negara’s Facebook page.
“His Majesty’s gesture is a reflection of his high love for his people, regardless of the place, time and weather,” read the note.
The Klang Valley has been struck by floods, causing thousands of residents to be evacuated and leaving a number of road users stranded, while several landslide incidents have also been reported.
Floods have also been reported in Pahang, Melaka, Negri Sembilan, Perak, and Kelantan.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has instructed all relevant ministries to immediately mobilise assets to the flood-affected areas to ensure that the people are rescued and placed in temporary evacuation centres. – Bernama, December 19, 2021
