KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 19 — The Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has described the flood situation in the federal capital last night as similar to the major floods disaster that occurred in 1971.

During his visit, His Majesty also expressed his sympathy for the victims and advised them to continue to be patient in facing this difficult time.
“I am still reviewing the situation from time to time and in the meantime, I hope all of you will remain patient and accept (the flood disaster) as fate.
“Take care of your health, take care of all the children,” said His Majesty.
Al-Sultan Abdullah also hoped that the government would provide the best possible assistance to all victims involved. — Bernama
