Youth and Sports Minister Ahmad Faizal Azumu has agreed with Najib Abdul Razak after the former prime minister panned him for a launch ceremony to help flood victims.
"I agree with what was said by Najib. There is no need for a formal launching ceremony or a digital backdrop (for the ceremony).
"This is an announcement to mobilise youth volunteers nationwide after the floods.
"The Youth and Sports Ministry will improve and correct whatever that needs to be done," he said in a statement on Facebook.
Faizal was responding to Najib who had zoomed in on an event the minister attended in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon.
The event was to launch the ministry's post-flood volunteer squad to assist in the aftermath of devastating flash floods that have hit various parts of the country following sustained heavy rain since Friday.
Faizal was seen delivering a speech with a digital backdrop for the event.
"I feel for things like his, there is no need for a signboard or a formal launching ceremony.
"Just mobilise and help immediately," Najib had said.
The country was hit by a tropical depression over the weekend.
Klang and Shah Alam in Selangor were among the hardest-hit areas, cutting off access on major highways.
The floods also damaged infrastructure, causing power outages and water supply disruptions.
