“I suggest that the government conduct a post-mortem on drainage in the urban areas or cities, hopefully to reduce flash floods from happening again,” he said today after visiting the Taman Sri Muda Mosque and surrounding areas that were affected by the floods.

The King, who also met the residents of Taman Sri Muda and handed over contributions to them, expressed his admiration for their perseverance in facing the situation.

“I went from house to house and Alhamdulillah saw that they are high-spirited to get on with life.

“Thanks also to the non-governmental organisations and volunteers for helping.

“I understand that friends from Kelantan and Pahang also came down to help.

“This shows their enthusiasm to help those in need.”

Accompanying him were the Raja Muda of Selangor Tengku Amir Shah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari, finance mnister Tengku Zafrul Aziz and defence forces chief Affendi Buang.

Earlier, the King visited and spoke to flood victims at the relief centre (PPS) at the Centre for Instructor and Advanced Skill Training (CIAST) in Section 19 here.

The King drove a four-wheel drive vehicle himself to the PPS.

He was briefed on the flood situation in Klang, particularly the situation at Taman Seri Muda, by Klang district officer Mohd Faizal Abdul Raji.

The King, who was in camouflage attire, then spent time meeting the 149 flood victims, from 39 families, and handed over essential items and cash aid to them.
