Two art collectives in Shah Alam and Klang in Selangor respectively converted their studios into temporary shelters for victims of Saturday’s flash flood.

The young artists also prepared hot meals and purchased essentials for the victims out of their own pockets until donations began to trickle in from friends, art collectors and former lecturers.
