Klang MP: Flood mitigation efforts not enough

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob's efforts to prepare for floods later this year are commendable but insufficient, said Klang MP Charles Santiago.

The DAP lawmaker pointed out that there remain many glaring issues in the premier's recent meeting with the Federal Disaster Management Task Force to assess the level of coordination and preparedness of disaster management.

"It's still a mess and looks like the entire government machinery hasn't stepped up, despite the devastating floods last December.

"It's mind-boggling that the discussions (with the task force) appear to have left out Selangor, and instead focused on the eastern states of the peninsula and East Malaysia," he said in a statement.
