"I am here to ensure every government department involved in this effort is here to assist the flood victims," Adenan told reporters.
"I am here to check if they (flood victims) have been provided with food, shelter and other basic necessities."
Adenan said he was satisfied with the evacuation and distribution of assistance process.
"Today, we are expecting the situation to improve but we are taking every precaution especially when the tide comes."
