There is no respite for flood-weary folks in Johor, Pahang and Melaka as the number of evacuees continued to climb to over 53,000.
In a video posted on his Facebook on Sunday, Datuk Seri Wee said evacuees in his Ayer Hitam constituency received small servings of food which arrived late and appeared lacking in nutrition.
Despite the gloom, there are some bright spots. Water has started to recede in some areas in a few districts and people have started cleanup works. Some enterprising shop owners continue to trade, hawking flood-damaged wares at a 50 per cent discount. SEDIH! MAKANAN UNTUK MANGSA BANJIR SAMPAI LAMBAT, KURANG KUALITI Ada yang mengadu nasi juga mentah. Serius saya terkilan dan cukup sedih dengan apa yang berlaku. Saya juga telah menghubungi menteri yang berkaitan dan memohon tangani isu ini dengan segera. Kasihanilah mangsa banjir yang sedang berdepan waktu sukar ketika ini.
Neighbouring Pahang is still housing 3,000 victims from 850 families in 20 relief centres, while Melaka currently has 600 victims from 150 families housed in six centres.
