King orders full flood preparations

KUALA LUMPUR: The call to all relevant government agencies and authorities to fully prepare for floods during the northeast monsoon has come from the King himself. Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah also urged the bodies involved to ensure that assistance reached flood victims effectively and quickly in a systematic manner.

His Majesty said this while gracing this year’s national Maulidur Rasul celebrations – themed “Malaysian Family, Catalyst for Prosperity” – at World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur in conjunction with Prophet Muhammad’s birthday yesterday.
