DENGKIL: Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah showed her concern for the plight of flood victims here with a personal visit.

       Her Majesty arrived here at 5.10pm Sunday (Dec 19) and boarded a Malaysian Civil Defence Force boat to see for herself the flood situation affecting those who were still trapped at home before instructing security forces personnel to help evacuate the victims to the relief centre as soon as possible.

       Tunku Azizah was escorted by Aide-de-Camp to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Air Force Brig Gen Datuk Mohamed Zahari Yahya.

       The Queen also visited the relief centre at Sekolah Rendah Agama Datuk Ahmad Razali.

       Dengkil town is almost paralysed after being inundated by floods since yesterday and most of the residents had to be evacuated after the water level continued to rise up to neck level.

       Dengkil residents described this disaster as the worst since 1971 following the historic flood that hit Kuala Lumpur. - Bernama
