Ramanan, who is also Deputy Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives, said the request will be channelled through Minister of Women, Family and Community Development Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri to facilitate and expedite the distribution of essential items to the public more efficiently.
'In addition, I will also be appealing to the Selangor government to speed up the Flood Mitigation Project in the Sungai Buloh parliamentary constituency to prevent such incidents from recurring,' he said in a Facebook post.
He also suggested that a coordination meeting involving all relevant agencies be held soon for this purpose.
He pointed out that more than 100 houses, including those in Kampung Paya Jaras Hilir, Kampung Kubu Gajah, Taman Seri Alam and several surrounding areas, were affected by flash floods following continuous heavy rain since yesterday.
As of 1.20 pm today, Ramanan said nearly 200 families had been relocated to temporary evacuation centres (PPS), involving PPS Dewan MBSA Seri Pagi (26 families); PPS Dewan Kenanga PDT Petaling (59 families); PPS Dewan Bunga Matahari (22 families); and PPS SK Merbau Sempak (100 families).
Ramanan, who also surveyed the affected areas, expressed his gratitude to all parties for their prompt and effective cooperation in addressing the situation, including the Sungai Buloh Parliamentary Constituency Service Centre and the Sungai Buloh PKR Division, in collaboration with the Residents' Representative Council, village heads, and relevant government agencies.
'We will continue to monitor the current situation and ensure that all necessary measures are taken to safeguard the safety and welfare of residents.
Besides Sungai Buloh, other districts in Selangor affected by flash floods include Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya.

Air Selangor: Sungai Way burst pipe repairs to finish by 9pm tonight
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 — Work to repair a burst pipe in Sungai Way, near the cable bridge along the Federal Highway/Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP) intersection, is expected to be completed by 9pm tonight. According to an Air Selangor spokesperson, as of 4pm today, 60 per cent of the repair work on the 600-millimeter asbestos cement pipe has been completed. 'The issue was caused by a burst in an old pipe. Repair work began at 9.45 pm last Saturday and is expected to be completed by 9pm tonight. 'The delay was due to the damaged pipeline being quite long, about 25 metres, and the presence of multiple utility pipelines at the site, which made excavation challenging,' the spokesperson said when contacted by Bernama. The burst pipe caused water supply disruptions in several areas, including SS 7, Glenmarie Golf & Country Club, PJU 1A Kelana Idaman, SS 3, Hyatt Saujana/Saujana Glenmarie, Jalan U1/13, Citta Mall, and Taman Perindustrian Hicom Glenmarie. Air Selangor has deployed nine water tankers to assist residents in the affected areas since 8 am yesterday. Alternative water supply via tankers will continue until the repair work is completed and normal water service is fully restored. — Bernama
