The number of evacuees have passed the 100, 000 mark from the seven states that are affected by the flood. This is one of Malaysia’s worst flooding incidents since 1971. New Year celebrations in two states and Kuala Lumpur have been cancelled to focus all efforts in flood relief. In this time of need, citizens of Malaysia are coming together to help in forms of donation, energy, time and prayer. We plead that you too could lend a helping hand because every little bit counts!
