PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has landed in hot water after claiming that the public did not take weather forecasts seriously following the recent floods. Berita Harian on Friday (Dec 24) reported Tuan Ibrahim saying that the public does not take weather forecasts and warnings seriously with many taking the warnings for granted as they thought floods only occur in the East Coast region of the peninsula. Before the great flood took place, not one weather forecast or advise was given through the SMS," he added. Shahril Nizam commented on Facebook saying that he agreed with what the minister was stressing, saying that sometimes, people tend to overlook matters relating to weather forecasts. "My family and I managed to exit Pahang in time as we were following the weather news continuously for several days," he said.
