A nearly 2km-long queue that stretched onto the street at the Shah Alam City Council Hall (MBSA) in Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam, recently was due to the majority of flood relief applicants choosing to pick up relief money in cash and showing up earlier than scheduled, said Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari.
He said the Klang District and Land Office had given applicants the option to receive assistance in cash or Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) into their bank accounts, but thousands of applicants chose to come and collect cash, which resulted in the long queue.
