KOTA TINGGI, March 2 — The government has channelled RM10 million to the National Disaster Management Agency to purchase necessities and provide additional assistance for flood victims in Johor.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the immediate allocation was to ensure adequate equipment at temporary relief centres as the number of victims continues to rise. “I was informed that there is a shortage of blankets, pillows and mattresses. Therefore, Nadma director-general has asked district officers to purchase these items immediately, and the money will be disbursed to the District Disaster Management Committees as soon as possible,” he said.
