Malaysian Embassy distributes dry food to staff and citizens hit by Bangkok floods

On September 28, the Malaysian Embassy in Bangkok provided dry food supplies to ten Malaysians and embassy employees who had suffered directly from the floods in the Thai capital. Malaysian Ambassador to Thailand Datuk Wan Zaidi Wan Abdullah announced the distribution took place on Sunday, with the aid intended to alleviate the hardships faced by those struggling with disrupted food supplies and daily necessities.

The 10 recipients included locally recruited embassy staff and Malaysians living in the surrounding areas. Wan Zaidi stated that the initiative served as an early emergency response, demonstrating the embassy's concern for the welfare of its staff and affected citizens. The distribution was overseen by Wan Zaidi, who also directed on-ground efforts led by Malaysian Defence Attaché to Thailand Brig Gen Datuk Samsul Rizal Musa.

The process took place between 10 am and 7 pm. The embassy plans to continue monitoring the flood situation in Bangkok and extend assistance to those impacted. Wan Zaidi urged Malaysians in affected regions to stay vigilant due to ongoing rainfall forecasts until September 30 and to consult the embassy's official travel advisory for updates.
