Today, I get to meet Kiesh again.
00:14
The baby that I saved during the flood.
00:18
In December 2021.
00:21
The baby is big now.
00:24
I'm very happy.
00:25
In Pahwali, I visit Kiesh as a sign...
00:31
...that we will try to take care of everyone...
00:34
...including the people of India, China and Malay.
00:37
We hope that there will be memories.
00:41
Not just sweet memories.
00:42
Memories of him and me will remain in my memory...
00:45
...as well as that of my family, Kiesh and my family.
00:48
You said you were looking for other victims.
00:52
I'm looking for two or three more victims.
00:54
I will try to visit and meet them during the holidays.
00:59
I have met some of them.
01:05
Thank God, after the flood, there are no more floods.
01:09
There was a little flood, but not as bad as in 2021.
01:14
How is the water supply in Seri Muda?
01:17
The pump has been fully operated.
01:20
The pump was not operated...
01:23
...because the power source was submerged.
01:27
So, it can't function.
01:29
But this time, the pump is working.
01:31
We also bought portable pumps.
01:34
So, it can be used.
01:36
The pumps in Seri Muda helped us a lot...
01:39
...after we were able to get on the raft.
01:41
We also launched a project to deepen the Kelang River.
01:45
That helped the water supply...
01:49
...and prevented a major flood in 2021.
01:53
In the last MMK meeting, we decided to monitor the situation.
01:58
We hope that all ESCOs will be able to stay in the country...
02:02
...especially in December.
02:04
Because the possibility of a flood may recur.
02:08
And we can take precautions if that happens.
02:12
I gave birth to my son on the 10th and 26th of this month.
02:17
The flood happened on the 18th of December.
02:20
I was in Pantang for a month and a half.
02:23
When the flood came, we stayed here in Seri Muda.
02:28
We returned to SK1 at 9pm.
02:33
At that time, they didn't know...
02:36
...that I was working at SK15.
02:40
So, I had to walk.
02:42
I didn't know if there was a flood or not.
02:44
So, I had to walk.
02:46
They didn't know that I was working at SK15.
02:48
They didn't know that you were working at SK15.
02:50
We had to walk all the way up to here.
02:52
We were afraid of the flood.
02:55
So, I had to go to the school.
02:59
So, you had to walk?
03:01
Yes, I had to walk.
03:03
I had to walk until here at 9pm.
03:06
I had to walk all the way up to here.
03:08
My mother took care of the baby.
03:11
My husband took care of the baby.
03:13
So, we had to walk all the way up to here.
03:15
There was no hot water or milk.
03:17
It was difficult.
03:18
The baby had to drink milk.
03:20
So, the next day, we suffered a lot.
03:22
Luckily, the YB came.
03:23
So, we were able to go there.
03:26
We went to Batu Tikus at that time.
03:28
We stayed there for a week.
03:30
So, you were able to concentrate...
03:32
...when you gave birth to the baby.
03:34
But, how did you feel at that time?
03:37
At that time, I didn't know who the YB minister was.
03:40
I didn't know him.
03:41
So, I didn't know him.
03:42
He was very friendly.
03:44
When he held me, he apologized.
03:46
He didn't touch me.
03:48
So, he brought me down to the boat.
03:50
When he held me, he apologized.
03:53
I said, it's okay.
03:54
He was very friendly.
03:56
He gave the baby to his assistant.
04:03
At that time, you must have been touched...
04:06
...because someone came to help you.
04:08
After a week, I found out who the YB minister was.
04:11
At that time, my phone was full of water.
04:13
So, I couldn't turn it on.
04:14
After a week, I went to buy a new phone.
04:16
After that, I found out who the YB minister was.
04:20
I was shocked.
04:22
I didn't know who he was.
04:26
I didn't know him either.
04:27
He was a normal person.
04:29
Yes.
04:30
We thought he was a normal person.
04:32
Now, I respect him.
04:37
He's like a brother to me.
04:39
He's like a brother to me.
04:44
Thank you so much for the help.
04:46
When you received his visit, how did you feel?
04:49
Yesterday, I received a call from him.
04:53
He said that the YB minister came to his house.
04:56
I asked him if it was true.
04:59
He said, yes, it's true.
05:01
After a week, we found out who the YB minister was.
05:04
After that, he called the YB minister.
05:07
He confirmed it.
05:08
Then, we found out that he was coming.
05:10
He said that he was coming in the evening.
05:11
But, we didn't know what time he was coming.
05:13
His assistant called him at around 6pm.
05:15
He said that he was coming at 8pm.
05:17
We were so happy.
05:19
No one came to visit us.
05:22
It was a very good experience for me.
05:25
It was a very memorable day for us.
05:28
How old is your son now?
05:30
He's three years old.
