Malaysia First Country Allowed To Help Flood Victims In Australia

Local News That Dominated This Week
Recently, the northeastern part of Australia was hit by a violent flood that left countless homes flooded in water. Malaysia is the first country given permission by the Australian government to send help to aid the flood victims. Putera 1Malaysia Club, the organization representing Malaysia sent food and medical supplies weighing about five tonnes as well as 18 volunteers on the four-day mission. Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, president of the Putera 1Malaysia Club was very grateful of the permission given by the Australian government to help. He said that this is the best opportunity to prove the 1Malaysia concept, which is to put the people first regardless of race and religious beliefs.

Response
This is clearly a good stepping stone for Malaysia to receive recognition globally as a country that prioritizes its people and has true intentions in helping them. Doing this would strengthen the political,economical bond with the Australian government. Hopefully, Malaysia continues taking steps like this with other countries to reinforce our 1Malaysia concept.
