Floods: Bad weather warnings ignored by those involved in Selangor disaster management, says PM


KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) issued six significant warnings of continuous rain which were ignored by "certain parties" involved directly in the disaster management, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Prime Minister said this was because of the perception that only states on the east coast of the peninsula would see floods due to the bad weather.
