KUALA LUMPUR – The Istana Negara disaster relief team, mooted by Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, went to four districts in Selangor yesterday to help flood victims.
Istana Negara in a posting on its official Facebook today stated the four districts comprise Klang, Shah Alam, Hulu Langat, and Kuala Langat.
“The team was established on the idea of His Majesty, with the aim of providing assistance and donations to victims who lost their homes and suffered huge losses due to damage to their property in the floods.
“His Majesty is very concerned about the plight of flood victims and sympathises with them for the hardship they went through, expressing hope that the assistance and donations provided by the team can help to reduce their burden,” it said.
The team is led by Brig-Gen Datuk Mohd Zahari Yahya, who is aide-de-camp to the Agong.
It comprises 120 Istana Negara officers and staff who were at the scene handing out contributions – including daily necessities such as toiletries, clothing, towels, dry food, and water, as well as Covid-19 self-test kits – to flood victims.
They also helped to clean mosques and houses that were affected by the floods. – Bernama, December 26, 2021
