NSC directive among three main challenges in flood management requiring improvement, says PM

KUALA LUMPUR: The government has identified three main challenges in flood management which must be quickly improved, including in the understanding of the National Security Council (NSC) Directive No.20.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic) said this was because there were weaknesses among the relevant agencies at the national, state and district levels, as well as among the statutory bodies, public sector and non-governmental organisations, in understanding their roles and responsibilities under the NSC directive for the period before, during and after a disaster.
