SHAH ALAM: More than 1,000 flood victims have been placed in 14 temporary evacuation centres (PPS) across several districts in Selangor, says Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
The Selangor Mentri Besar said that following this, several follow-up measures and aid will be announced on Tuesday (Nov 25) after the state government reviews the current flood situation.
"Insya-Allah, tonight some state executive councillors (excos) will visit the PPS to see firsthand what is happening, and tomorrow we will hold a special briefing regarding flood management.
"I wish all Selangor assemblymen a safe return to their respective constituencies and please inform us if any support is needed, especially in dealing with flood disasters," he said during his adjournment speech at the Selangor State Legislative Assembly sitting Monday (Nov 24).
Earlier, media reports stated that Amirudin instructed all excos and Selangor government officers to visit victims affected by flooding incidents following heavy rain that hit the state since Sunday (Nov 23).
