The prime minister was accompanied by his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohammad Ali. Dr Mahathir, who is also Langkawi MP, spent about 15 minutes at the location. Uprooted trees had been cleared away but damage to business premises were still visible throughout the area.

On Friday, strong winds and a thunderstorm hit the area at about 7.45pm causing damage to business premises, uprooting trees, some of which hit vehicles, and leaving electrical cables lying on roads. – Bernama
