ALOR SETAR: Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Nor and his family also became flood victims today, when they were forced to relocate as his official residence, Seri Mentaloon, was flooded.
Sanusi’s special media officer Helmi Khalid said the flood level at the official residence had been increasing since the morning, approaching 1m-deep by evening after Sungai Anak Bukit, behind Seri Mentaloon, overflowed its banks.
“The menteri besar decided to move to a safer place earlier this afternoon,” he said.
He posted a video showing Sanusi carrying his daughter out of the residence, while his wife, Jusmalailani Jusoh, and their other children were seen carrying their belongings out of the residence.
The two-storey building, located less than 100m from the banks of Sungai Anak Bukit, had been flooded since yesterday morning.
