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.
