Help from afar in the big clean-up


BUKIT MERTAJAM: Help is coming from all over for the flood victims in Penang. While political parties and NGOs made a beeline to the state to help, three friends in Selangor also decided they should set aside two days to help Penangites clean up their homes.

One of them has a small lorry. They filled it with brooms, rakes, shovels, pails, a high-pressure water sprayer, everything they think they would need to clean flood-damaged homes and drove up here on Monday morning.
