“Everything was destroyed. “All our clothes are drenched in mud and my children’s school books are soaked and damaged,” said Muhd Rizan, who was still cleaning up the house yesterday. There was just no other choice,” related Muhd Rizan. A total of nine people ended up sheltering in Muhd Rizan’s house attic as he took in four children living next door. Their plight was conveyed to Ismail Sabri when he visited several of the affected areas in Merbok and Yan.
