KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 24 (Bernama) -- All Selangor state executive councillors and government officers have been instructed to go to the ground and attend to victims affected by the floods following the heavy rain that has hit the state since yesterday, says Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.

He said the state government was currently updating developments and monitoring the flood situation in the state.

“We are also closely monitoring the water levels at the state’s dams to ensure they remain under control to prevent any untoward incidents. At the moment, the levels are fairly stable.

“I am also awaiting reports on the current flood situation, and we will instruct all relevant officers and exco members to go down and assist victims after the Selangor State Legislative Assembly sitting ends this evening, as rain is expected to continue until tomorrow,” he said.

Amirudin was commenting on the flood situation in Selangor when met by reporters after the Launch of the Selangor Creative Economy Action Plan 2025-2035 at the foyer of the Selangor State Secretariat building today.

Meanwhile, Amirudin said the state government would issue a statement later today on follow-up measures to address the floods.
