A resident at Pangsapuri Damai in Taman Sri Muda, Mohd Fahmi Zulkifli, 42, said that as the floodwater receded yesterday morning, some able-bodied residents were able to leave but others had to stay behind as they had vulnerable family members who could not make the journey out.“Those who are able to make it can get out but many are staying behind, such as those with small children and the elderly.
“We can survive without electricity but not without water,” he said, adding that his family has also been surviving on their own supply of food such as biscuits as access to cooked food contributed by outsiders has been erratic. A resident of Taman Sri Muda who only wanted to be known as Lingam, 64, is concerned about the elderly folk and persons with disabilities who have been left behind, saying that as of yesterday morning, authorities manning the blocks were restricting civilian volunteers and non-governmental organisations from entering the afflicted area.
“The authorities are not helping and we could only go and see if he is okay and has food and water, then report back to his family that he is okay and pray the water will recede. Lingam also questioned the authorities’ failure to give advance warning to residents about the floods.
