“From previous years’ experience, [the flooding] isn’t just a one-off issue,” Malaysia Flood Relief 2021 Bundle organizers wrote on itch.io. “Due to the impacts of climate change and other factors like poor infrastructure upkeep and deforestation, the impact of seasonal rains and floods in Malaysia has been exacerbated in recent years.

“Even as we are raising funds for immediate needs, we also urge people who are not able to support our efforts monetarily to do what you can to support efforts to fight climate change and ecological exploitation that leads to these severe weather events.”
