JELEBU: Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has admitted that there had been some delays and other weaknesses in flood rescue efforts in Selangor following Saturday (Dec 18)'s floods but was quick to add that it was the responsibility of all to ensure this does not reoccur.

The Prime Minister said no single group should be held wholly accountable for the lack of coordination or other rescue efforts, and attributed the problem in Selangor due to a combination of factors.
