Klang MP demands GE15 'flood plan' from EC
- 2 years ago
As the 15th general election (GE15) looms following Umno’s decision that it must be held this year, Klang MP Charles Santiago wants to know the plan should polling day occur during floods.
In a letter sent today to the Election Commission (EC), he expressed his concern over the timing of the election as it would coincide with the monsoon season.
He noted that the authorities have warned of flood risk, especially in low-lying areas on the west coast of the peninsula.
The parliamentarian said his constituency, which is on the west coast, was badly hit by floods during last year’s monsoon season, and he estimated over 107,000 voters will be affected in the event of floods this year.
