KUALA LUMPUR: Natural disasters, including major floods, that hit several states and claimed almost 50 lives so far, with another five still reported missing, marked the end of 2021 and also exhibited the togetherness of Keluarga Malaysia in times of adversity.

It showed how the rakyat, regardless of race and colour, could be united in the face of common hardships.

The floods occurred following two days of continuous heavy rain, resulting in several areas in Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat, Shah Alam, Klang, Hulu Selangor, Kuala Selangor, Petaling and Kuala Lumpur in the Klang Valley, as well as Bentong, Mentakab and Temerloh in Pahang to be 'submerged’ under water. The end of the year was the north-east monsoon season , which was the major rainy season in the country that often caused severe floods along the east coast states of Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and East Johor in Peninsular Malaysia.

"The situation in Selangor is quite chaotic since the state is normally not affected during the monsoon season," Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was quoted as saying during a press conference at the National Disaster Operations Control Centre on Dec 18. The situation saw five million cubic metre of floodwater diverted to Kuala Lumpur through the SMART Tunnel in an effort to lessen the impact of flooding in the downtown area of Kuala Lumpur
