SHAH ALAM, Dec 20 — Selangor Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari has pledged that more boats will be sent to evacuate flood victims stranded in Bukit Kemuning and Taman Sri Muda.
“The rescue process will carry on tonight (December 19) to evacuate all stranded victims. I have been informed of the critical situation in Taman Sri Muda, Section 25 in Shah Alam. All suitable assets like boats have been ordered to assist in the evacuation of flood victims.
“I understand that the number of Armed Forces personnel have also been increased to assist our efforts,” he tweeted last night.
According to Amirudin, he was at Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Sri Muda four hours earlier on to help with the evacuation of stranded flood victims, among which was a family with newborn and senior citizens.
Meanwhile, checks by Bernama around the area revealed that telecommunications connectivity had been cut off and it was shrouded in darkness due to the lack of electricity following the floods.
