The Sultan of Pahang warned people against making political attacks over flood aid delays. Al-Sultan Abdullah said the initial holdups happened because the flooding was sudden and created logistical problems. He expressed thanks to everyone working to get supplies to displaced people, asking that the situation not be exploited for partisan gain. His comments came after a visit to a relief center at a school called Sekolah Kebangsaan Bunut Rendang.
He also told government agencies and support crews to stay ready throughout the rainy season. The Ruler advised victims staying in shelters not to go back to their homes yet, citing forecasts about another possible wave of flooding next week. He mentioned the ongoing floods in Indonesian areas like Sumatra and Aceh, wishing for a quick recovery for those residents. Separately, he congratulated the national polo squad for winning gold at the regional games, noting a Pahang prince was on the winning team.
