Don't mess with the environment - Sultan of Kelantan

The Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Muhammad V called the public to be more environmentally friendly as the flood situation has a strong relation to human wrongdoings.

He said the public should reflect upon all the things which had been done all this time and should correct their mistakes.

"Let us extend a hand of friendship with the environment and let us be aware that all disaster problems that have occurred are the result of our own doings.

"May Allah forgive us all and turn this plight into a much better situation," he said in a text which had been distributed to the media here today.

He also urged the public not to spread news which could cause further unrest in this already difficult situation.

Meanwhile, some 2,500 flood victims placed in Klinik Manek Urai Baharu and its surroundings in Kuala Krai who were trapped and had food supplies disrupted for two days since Wednesday started receiving aid again yesterday.

The clinic's medical and health officer Dr Yap Yang Seng said the food supply which included rice, sugar and biscuits were sent by the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) using a helicopter.

The government was using helicopters and boats to send food supplies to places where flood victims were trapped as roads were submerged in water.
