SHAH ALAM: Over RM39mil in compassionate aid (BWI) have been distributed to heads of households affected by the recent massive floods, says Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Special Tasks) Datuk Mastura Mohd Yazid.
The Dec 18 floods that hit several states in Peninsular Malaysia were unprecedented and caught many households unawares. The aftermath caused massive destruction to properties as well as home and electrical appliances. To reduce the burden of affected families, a city council in Selangor has come forward to offer free repair services for electrical items. Is there any truth to this?
