Apart from reporting the current weather condition in Malaysia yesterday which includes warnings of continuous heavy rain in the East Coast states, Siti Nurhaliza also advised people in flood-prone locations to be prepared and keep important documents as well as valuables in bags that are easy to carry.
At the same time, she also reminded the public to immediately move to the Relief Centres (PPS) in accordance with the instructions of the authorities to maintain personal safety.
Encourage more people to heed bad weather conditions
Siti Nurhaliza also mentioned in her Instagram post yesterday that the purpose of this collaboration was to encourage more people to watch the segment, which not only gives useful information about bad weather conditions but also informs them on what to do during such situations.
Nothing is more valuable than your life. Belongings can be found, but your life is priceless. Remember, disaster is not a time for us to have fun.

Netizens are tuning in
It seemed as if the agency’s initiative to spread useful information to a wider target audience is getting traction as the Youtube video is already getting 22.0 K views. Not to mention, her clips circulating on TikTok and other social media platforms are also getting increasing views.
Most of the netizens tuning in were excited to see their favourite No. 1 Malaysian singer on the weather forecast segment. Some even said that MetMalaysia’s approach to educating citizens on worrying weather conditions using Siti Nurhaliza is a wise move.
“Actually, citizens still do not care about weather condition warnings in Malaysia. Having Siti Nurhaliza as an influential person to speak about it is a great approach done by MetMalaysia.”
“I’ve never watched the weather reports. But just because Siti is reporting it, today is my first time watching.”
“It’s so great seeing Dato Siti doing the weather report. This is only her first time but it’s already great and engaging. I hope there are more reports from Dato Siti after this, congratulations.”
Here’s the full video of the weather forecast done by the 43-year-old singer.
