CAMERON HIGHLANDS: Residents here have banded together to care for flood victims following last Wednesday’s disaster.

Among those involved are members of the Highlanders 78 group – comprising alumni of SM Sultan Ahmad Shah from the class of 1978 in Tanah Rata. The group swung into action immediately after the area was hit by floods and mudslides that claimed five lives and left more than 100 people homeless.
