KUALA LUMPUR – Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah said the floods in the federal capital last night were similar to the major floods that occurred in 1971.
The king said that after 50 years of the incident, Malaysians should take it as a lesson and be prepared to deal with floods, especially in December and January.
His Majesty said this after visiting flood victims at the Sultan Sulaiman Club evacuation centre here at about 11.30am today.
During his visit, His Majesty also expressed his sympathy for the victims and advised them to continue to be patient in facing this difficult time.
“I am still reviewing the situation from time to time and in the meantime, I hope all of you will remain patient and accept (the flood disaster) as fate.
“Take care of your health, take care of all the children,” said His Majesty.
He also said that he hoped the government would provide the best possible assistance to all victims involved. – Bernama, December 19, 2021
