"So far, l was informed that about RM1.55 million losses were suffered by Kelantan police alone.

"I have yet to receive the amount of losses suffered by police and other agencies under the Home Ministry in other states that were hit by floods," he said after visiting the Flood Disaster Control Centre in Repek today.

Also present were Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat and Pasir Mas police chief Assistant Commissioner Kama Azural Mohamed.

Shamsul Anuar said although the police'a assets were badly hit by the floods, it would not effect their operations.

"The operations carried out by the police and other rescue agencies during this flood season continue as usual," he said.
