During the recent flash flood that hit several districts and states across the country, many Malaysians have gathered together in lending their helping hands to those who were badly affected by the natural disaster.
Not only that, we also noticed numerous public figures who have been doing their best to help flood victims. Among the familiar names who went out of their way include Siti Nurhaliza, Syed Saddiq, the Crown Prince of Selangor Tengku Amir Shah, and also Nedim Nazri.
So proud of our team, this family has gone 2 days without food , Alhamdulillah we got them out, MasyaAllah this 2 month old baby is so adorable .

Speaking of which, Nedim, who’s also the son of politician Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, became the talk of the town recently for his selfless act of kindness in rescuing flood victims around the Taman Sri Muda area in Shah Alam, Selangor. Despite that, things took a turn for the worse after Nedim took to his Twitter to express his resentment with the attitude of a few flood victims.
“Very disappointed, when we came in, some people refused to be helped. Instead, they demanded blankets, sugar etc.. We came here to get you out. Know that we’re not Grab riders,” the husband to local actress Nora Danish tweeted.
Nedim’s statement was met with tons of criticism from online netizens. Most of them argued that the “demands” from the victims were very reasonable as they were basic needs. To quote one commentator, “Some of them don’t want to leave their homes, so they know exactly what they need at the moment. If your team are unable to provide blankets, inform the other team, and don’t question (them). We are not in their place, it’s a sensitive time.”
One user left a sarcastic comment directed towards the entrepreneur, saying, “No need to be disappointed. You call yourself a volunteer. If you can’t stand it, just go home and hug your wife.” Check out some of the comments that we found online below:
That being said, the 39-year-old revealed on his IG Story that he wasn’t affected by all the negative remarks left by social media users.
