A freak storm which lashed across Meru housing community and surrounding areas on Tuesday has caused vast damage to homes and property.
Making a quick visit to the site was Perak Menteri Besar Dato Seri Saarani Mohamad and his team to assess the situation.
He also pledged support for the homes while the Ipoh City Council deployed their quick response teams to clear the trees and other rubbish which had been deposited by the storm.
