HULU SELANGOR - A media officer was injured after a tent at the Sekolah Rendah Agama (SRA) Serendah polling centre had been blown by a storm on Saturday.

It was reported that the victim, a 49-year-old man, was sheltering under the tent.

He said the victim had reportedly received treatments at a clinic in Serendah.

"The victim did not suffer any serious injuries, only cuts on his back.

"No police reports have been lodged regarding the incident," he said.
