KUALA LUMPUR, Nov. 29 -- Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari says the state has activated a full mobilisation plan as 4,463 residents remain displaced by floods.

He says evacuee numbers grew due to water moving from northern Selangor into Kuala Langat and Sepang.

"Six more pumps will be added tomorrow to further accelerate the transfer of water," he said.
