On another note, Sin Woon also explained that as to date there are 102 volunteers registered with Youth Care Movement, and that these volunteers will be departing on 2 January 2015 (Friday) to Kelantan to help in the relief efforts, and will stay there for 3 days before returning to KL on 5 January 2015 (Sunday).
Sin Woon also urged for more doctors to sign up as volunteers, saying “We are also looking for private practicing doctors to join as volunteers, as all public doctors are already on stand-by”.
He also advised those who are returning to their hometowns in flood-affected area to bring their own supplies as well as to be careful, as the houses may have suffered structural damages, and that rodents and insects may have taken up residence in their homes. “We have received complaints of people being bitten by snakes, and insects,” he said, adding that “we hope that there will be no increase in casualties.”
