The flood disaster currently affecting the country has resulted in the freezing of leave for all Cabinet members.

The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, issued an order for all ministers and deputy ministers to visit the disaster areas.

We request that all ministers immediately resume their responsibilities and head to the field. He informed reporters that after leading Friday prayers with over 500 worshipers at Surau Pudina, Precinct 17, in this location today, he has suspended his leave.

Asked whether the leave of Cabinet members would be frozen during the flood disaster that is presently affecting the country, he responded in this manner.
