At the moment, Klang and Shah Alam is slowly recovering from the heavy floods. As of 8pm on 22 December 2021, 125 temporary flood relief centres have been opened, housing 5,165 families, with the total of victims amounting at 22,875. This spans across 8 areas and 18 districts in Selangor. As of now, 24 deaths have been recorded by the authorities.
The Selangor state government has also come up with a flood relief plan for those who have been affected by the recent flood. Attached below is the main visuals by Selangor Menteri Besar YAB Amirudin Shari.
Many of us were informed that we could receive up to RM1,000 subsidy from the government. The claiming process was very troublesome and many victims expressed their dissatisfaction over it. Hence, the Menteri Besar of Selangor had decided to reevaluate and simplify the claiming process.
Here's the information BaSangLang.com has compiled thus far for the previous claiming process. Your application should still be applicable if you've already submitted all these documents to the local authorities. In the mean time, we'll update everyone once the new and simplified claiming process has been announced.
