Several MPs raised their frustration with the government for their poor preparedness and slow response to the floods over the weekend.

Despite an announcement by the prime minister of a Rm100 million post-flood allocation to rebuild homes, former defence minister Mohamad Sabu said that just money alone was not the best solution.

Despite the outcry from the MPs, Dewan Rakyat speaker Azhar Azizan Harun refused to allow for a debate on the flooding, explaining that the house cannot change topic as and when they like.
