Will someone declare state of emergency in Malaysia?
Deadly floods have killed at least 4 people and forced more than 90,000 others to flee their homes across six states in northern Malaysia since last week.
The worst affected areas are the states of Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Perak, Perlis and Kedah.
The Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is “facing heavy criticism over the timing of his holiday abroad amid the worst floods in the country,” said the Malaysian Insider.
He is in Hawaii playing golf with the U.S. Disaster President, according to reports.
“[A]s floods worsen in the country, there has been almost no demonstration of urgency and leadership from the National Security Council chaired by the Prime Minister,” said Malaysia Chronicle, describing the floods as Malaysia’s “worst natural disaster in recent history.”
