43 TZU CHI 139 in the house reached about two feet. I had been staying upstairs and surviving on bread for the past few days,” he related. Volunteers assisted him to move the furniture and other things outside, and clear the mud using a water jet. They also checked with him on how he wanted to handle each item, before helping to discard those heavy and damaged items, and moved the items that he wanted to keep back into his house. This saved him from having to carry the items all by himself. He expressed repeatedly, “I am really grateful to have you all help me. Thank you!” Kampung Chennah in Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan, was also severely affected. Volunteers entered the flood-stricken areas to carry out relief work since December 19, 2021. On December 25, Tzu Chi mobilized 148 volunteers from Malacca, Seremban and Tampin to help with post-flood clean up. Seeing the volunteers of different races there to help them, the village chief, Rosmadi binArif, could not help but choke up when he briefed everyone on the clean-up plan. In addition, volunteers also presented cash relief aid to 247 affected households in three flood-stricken areas in Jelebu.
