KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 7 — Residents of Taman Sri Nanding here have adopted an air of resignation and self-reliance in an effort to recover from the severe flooding that swept the area, with some saying help from officials has not been forthcoming.
"Too much bureaucracy when it comes to getting anything done. Plus, the ever-changing representatives and government leaders create so much chaos. Nothing can be done properly. However, none in recent memory has been as severe as the deluge that swept the area late in December. Disagreeing with some views that the frequent changes in the federal government was an obstacle to proper flood mitigation works, Harun said there were enough agencies and departments to ensure continuity in any such effort.
He said he first came down to help relatives whose house was badly damaged by the floods, but felt compelled to assist others. "We saw other MPs and ministers who came and met their friends only, did their photo op or whatever and left. With a large entourage nonetheless," he said with a dry laugh.
