How high did floodwaters reach at the Fama warehouse?

Question

Accepted Answer

Floodwaters Reached Five Feet High at Fama Warehouse

Floodwaters inundated a Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) Operations Centre warehouse in Dengkil, reaching a height of five feet. This inundation occurred on December 17, leading to the destruction of food items intended for the Mafi Prihatin programme.
Destruction of Mafi Prihatin Food Items

The warehouse, used to store food items for the Mafi Prihatin programme, was submerged by floodwaters. Items such as rice, flour, and vermicelli, which had arrived at the operations centre on December 17, were destroyed due to the continuous heavy rain. The Mafi Prihatin initiative is implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries to assist those impacted by Covid-19 or disasters, including floods, and to acknowledge the efforts of frontliners.
Damage Beyond Food Supplies

The flooding at the Fama operations centre extended beyond the destruction of food supplies. The continuous heavy rain caused floodwaters to rise as high as five feet within the warehouse later on December 17. In addition to the food items, the floods also affected office equipment, furniture, and products belonging to local entrepreneurs at the Agrobazaar shop located within the same operations centre.
Salvage and Clean-up Efforts

Efforts are underway to salvage and repackage any food items that were not damaged. Clean-up operations commenced two days prior to the report, involving volunteers from various Fama branches, including those in Johor, Perlis, Negri Sembilan, Melaka, and the headquarters. These volunteers are working to restore the affected areas following the flood event.
