KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 11 — The federal government has agreed to allocate RM800 million as immediate assistance to address water supply disruption issues in Kelantan and Sabah, which is part of the total cost amounting to RM5 billion, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“The government will also continue to explore suitable locations for groundwater abstraction through the construction of additional tube wells and underground reservoirs,” Anwar said when tabling the Mid-Term Review of the 12th Malaysia Plan 2021-2025 in Parliament today. In light of the frequent floods and landslides, the Prime Minister noted that the establishment of the National Geology Disaster Centre by year-end will monitor the effectiveness of early warning systems for tsunamis, floods, and landslides. This will improve disaster response efficiency and ensure people’s safety.
“At the same time, enforcement measures to combat illegal wildlife poaching, efforts to expand protected areas, and empower local communities to safeguard other endangered species like elephants, orangutans, turtles, gaur and tapirs will be increased,” he added.
