MINISTERS who are currently on leave and planning to go on holiday have been instructed to cancel their plans until the country’s flood woes are resolved.

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said all ministers currently abroad have also been ordered to return home immediately.

“I have been deluged with questions about our ministers. So, if they are on leave and planning to go on holiday, I want them to cancel that plan.

“If they are currently abroad, return immediately!” he told a press conference after visiting flood evacuees at SK Bukit Piatu in Bentong today.

Ismail said he himself had to postpone his work trip to Bangkok, slated from Tuesday to Thursday, to focus on the flood woes.

“Members of security forces have also been asked to focus on helping the people in cleaning their houses once they are allowed to return home,” he said. – Bernama, December 24, 2021.
