“These are the videos that should be circulating all over the world… For them to know what Malaysia truly is… not whatever the politicians are trying to portray,” @viknes79 said.

This is one example of how the people have come together during the recent chaotic times.
Over the last few days, people have been sharing donation drives for necessities such as food, clothes, and money, as well as clean-up efforts across social media platforms to help all the victims affected by the disaster.
Additionally, Twitter users have been constantly retweeting locations of those who were stranded or needed help.
The devastating floods, dubbed as one of Malaysia’s worst disasters in recent times, had affected thousands of lives, and as of today, has claimed 37 lives so far. – The Vibes, December 23, 2021
