SHAH ALAM, Jan 12 — Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporated) or MBI prepared a RM27,000 allocation for nine of its employees affected by the flooding last month.

Chief executive officer Norita Mohd Sidek said a donation of RM3,000 to each affected employee was made to help reduce their burdens.

“We also provided food and basic necessities. MBI subsidiary company Bukit Beruntung Golf Resort Sdn Bhd donated mattresses, blankets, and pillows to the victims,” she said when met after handing over the donation at the Darul Ehsan Building earlier today.

Norita said MBI also formed a volunteer team to help clean flood-affected houses.

“Thank you to the volunteer team, I did not expect a lot of employees would turn up to help their affected colleagues. I hope this spirit will continue,” she said, adding the team was joined by 30 employees.

Meanwhile one of the recipients, Asyraf Azman, said the donation will be used to repair his car, as well as purchase new furniture.

Asyraf, who lives in Kampung Sri Aman, Puchong, also thanked his employer for its continuous support and help during challenging times.

“The help from other colleagues is also highly appreciated. I cannot afford to clean the house, it is a tough job to do and I do not know where to start,” he said.
