The Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has called upon all relevant agencies to make thorough and comprehensive preparations to face the risk of flooding due to the Northeast Monsoon. The King said that the preparations are not in reducing flood impacts but also in devising a method to ensure that assistance to the victims can be provided in a planned, prompt and effective manner.
According to Bernama, His Majesty stressed,
“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 Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.
Speaking at the national-level Maulidur Rasul celebration at the World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur today, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong also urged national leaders to emulate Prophet Muhammad’s administration in various aspects of life, including the concept of administration based on good governance, politics, economy, security and justice. Al-Sultan Abdullah said Prophet Muhammad had taught every leader to set the right intentions, be honest in carrying out the responsibilities entrusted to them, and embrace the value of taqwa (piety) as the main principle.
