Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced 13 million ringgit ($3 million) in aid for victims in Kedah state following a visit to the affected areas late on Saturday, and ordered government officials to monitor flood mitigation projects currently under way to prevent delays, Xinhua news agency reported.
