Floods: Elderly appreciate relief workers' sacrifices, excellent service


JELI: "Whenever I was feeling unwell, there were always staff who came to assist, and provide medicine for a quick recovery," said 96-year-old Omar Salleh, expressing his gratitude for the excellent service provided by relief workers at the temporary evacuation centre (PPS).

Omar and his wife, Minah Omar, 85, had to relocate to the relief centre at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Jeli 1, here, using a police boat, after their home was submerged in water up to knee level on Friday (Dec 29).
