Quick response by flood relief volunteer boaters

PETALING JAYA: When Ernest Ong Kok Guan heard of the floods that hit Penang on Sunday (Nov 4), he did not hesitate to volunteer his help.

"A friend called me telling me there's a big flood in Penang and that they need help to extract people. So I agreed to go there just to see what we can do," said the 37-year-old co-owner of the Tom, Dick & Harry's pubs.
