Floods: Pensioners step up to help clean victims' houses


KUANTAN: "Sorry, we can only do so much”. That is among the phrases often uttered by members of the Jembara Al-Falah (Jembara) charity team every time they finish cleaning up houses of flood victims in Kuantan for the past few days.

Its chairman Abdul Rahim Othman, 61, said the team, comprising government and private retirees aged between 55 and 70, tried their best to assist and hoped that their small contribution would alleviate the burden of flood victims.
