"Why the selective rescue?" - Victims fume over lack of coordination
- 2 years ago
Several Taman Sri Muda residents have claimed rescue efforts by boat were carried out selectively among residents in the area by those in power.
One resident said he saw a boat passing through and called for help as he had a one-year-old son but the boat picked up their passengers and kept telling him to wait.
He said he eventually called his relative who arranged for a boat to come and paid RM2,000 for it.
Hundreds of residents in the area were reportedly trapped in their homes before eventually being evacuated to temporary shelters.
