Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim convened a special meeting in Parliament House to coordinate efforts in addressing recurring floods in Selangor. The meeting focused on four key actions: strengthening early warning systems, improving disaster management coordination, resolving flash floods, and studying flood management best practices from Kuala Lumpur City Hall.

Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari emphasized the need to implement these actions immediately, particularly in flood-prone areas of Petaling and Kuala Selangor districts, which have seen 1,180 evacuees in temporary relief centers. The meeting also highlighted the welfare of flood victims, with a special aid of RM3,000 provided to eligible households, while various state agencies and relevant authorities were present to support the efforts.
