KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9 — Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah today called on all relevant agencies to make thorough and comprehensive preparations to face the risk of flooding due to the Northeast Monsoon.

Al-Sultan Abdullah said the preparations are not only in reducing flood impacts but in devising a method to ensure that assistance to the victims can be provided in a planned, prompt and effective manner.

His Majesty said this is in line with the teachings of Prophet Muhammad SAW, who demanded his people to always make preparations to deal with any possibility in the future.

“Every year in November, the country is faced with the risk of flooding, and recently, the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) predicted that Malaysia would face heavy rains and the risk of major floods.”

“I would like to remind my subjects to brace themselves and make preparations to face possible weather phenomena,” His Majesty said at the national-level Maulidur Rasul celebration at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.
