PM: Flood warnings ignored


KUALA LUMPUR: Six significant warnings of continuous heavy rains were issued by the Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) but were ignored by those directly involved in disaster management, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Prime Minister said this happened due to an assumption that only east coast states would be affected by floods brought by heavy rains due to the monsoon.
