Coming together to help those in need

KUALA LUMPUR (Herald Malaysia): Malaysians from all religions and walks of life came together to help those who were affected by the recent storm in the north.

The volunteers from different religious organisations came forward to help with cleaning the affected arears, offering shelter, providing food as well as other essentials in the aftermath of one of the worst floods in recent history which affected almost all of Penang, Kedah and Perak.

Thousands of Penangites, affected by Saturday’s floods, are grateful to all Malaysians for the nonstop aid and assistance rendered.

Senior citizens were the main victims following the massive floods in Penang, as they were easily overpowered by surging flood waters.

Since many were evacuated to temporary flood relief centres on Sunday, all forms of aid have been pouring in, continuously.

Initially, living lives as strangers, many have warmed up to their new neighbours and have bonded, thanks to their time at the centres.
