Flood victims can reach out to CRSM
As rescue efforts continue to push on from all parties, flash flood victims who need relief items can reach out to MCA’S Crisis Relief Squad (CRSM).
Selangor Wanita MCA chief Tee Hooi Ling said those in badly affected areas can call CRSM headquarters at 03-2203 3979 or 019669 6278 for help.
“The Meteorological Services Department has predicted that there will be heavy rain over the next few days.
“We urge the public to stay vigilant and keep their important documents and valuables on higher ground.
“In case of a flood, they must be careful with their houses’ power supply. Most importantly, they must evacuate when the situation worsens or they will be stuck inside their homes with no food and water while waiting for rescue,” she said at Taman Sri Muda here yesterday.
Tee, together with MCA national organising secretary Ling Tian Soon and a team of CRSM volunteers, have been on the ground helping with rescue and relief works.
“When I visited flood-hit places in Pandamaran and other affected areas in Klang to give out food and aid last Sunday, the victims were devastated by the state of their homes.
“We hope more aid will be made available by the federal and state governments to help them rebuild their homes, and we will also do our best to help,” said Tee.
In conjunction with Winter Solstice Day on Tuesday, MCA deputy treasurer-general Datuk Lawrence Low Ah Keong, also arranged for 500 portions of tang yuan (glutinous rice balls) and 200 boxes of cakes for volunteers and victims at Taman Seri Muda.
