Kuala Lumpur: Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) need to obtain permission from the State Disaster Management Committee (JPBN) or the District Disaster Management Committee (JPBD) in order to resume their relief missions in flood affected areas.
The setting of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) aim to prevent situations where too many NGOs go to flooded areas and can cause the spread of Covid-19 infection.
National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) Community and Social Development Division Director, Hussain Moh

Plenty of Malaysians across the east coast have been forced to evacuate their homes over the last few days due to flooding caused by the monsoon season.
The extremely heavy rains in Malaysia have dehomed up to 28,000 people with at least 4 dead in the east coast states of Johor, Pahang, Perak, Selangor, and Terengganu.
It is common for flooding to hit Malaysia s east coast during the rainy season but 2021 s floods are one of the worst so far.
It can be frustrating to watch all of this as a bystander. So, how can you help?
Fret not as we have compiled a list of flood relief initiatives for those who want to help out.
