PM ensures Port Dickson family receives aid

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called for immediate assistance to be provided to a family in Kampung Baru Si Rusa, Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan, who are facing hardship after the head of the household suffered a stroke. Anwar, who visited Faridah Abbas' family with his wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, said the family is fully dependent on Faridah after her husband, Mohamad Ali Abdul Malek, became bedridden in 2024. "Azizah and I are deeply affected by the ordeal faced by this family. I have instructed the Implementation Coordination Unit, Prime Minister's Department to provide the necessary facilities to help Faridah and her family continue their lives," he said in a Facebook post on Sunday (July 20). He said the assistance to be channelled includes a business kiosk to be provided for Faridah to earn an income by selling local delicacies and banana fritters, as well as levelling the front portion of the family house. "Hopefully, this kindness and assistance will ease the suffering of Faridah as she has to take care of her bedridden husband and her children," he said. Anwar is in Negri Sembilan for the Madani Government Leadership Ukhuwah Programme in conjunction with the retreat for administration members and Members of Parliament. The programme involves the participation of the Madani government administration members as part of efforts to build a network of brotherhood between leaders and the people in a relaxed, inclusive setting filled with values of togetherness. – Bernama

Zahid: Govt will rebuild all homes lost in Bagan Pasir Laut blaze

BAGAN DATUK: The government will rebuild all 21 houses that were destroyed in a fire in Bagan Pasir Laut, Hutan Melintang, on Saturday. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he had instructed various federal and state agencies to fast-track the reconstruction of the affected homes, despite several challenges. The rural and regional development minister said a joint committee had been formed between his ministry and the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU) of the Prime Minister's Department for this purpose. "Both the federal and state governments will find ways to address the issues faced by the victims, and we will resolve them by rebuilding the homes. "I have already discussed this with the ministry's secretary-general and the state ICU director, and they have set up a joint committee to expedite the process. I've requested that land leveling works be completed within a month. "I've also requested that funding be allocated for the standard construction of these homes, based on the land size indicated in the land grants or Temporary Occupation License (TOL) approval letters," he said. Zahid, who is Bagan Datuk member of parliament, was speaking to reporters after presenting welfare aid to the fire victims at the settlement today. Each affected family received RM10,000 in aid, comprising RM3,000 from the ICU and the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma), RM3,000 as Zahid's personal contribution, and RM4,000 from Tantrayana Buddhist Federation Chen Foh Chong Malaysia. Zahid said the Bagan Pasir Laut village, located within the Bagan Datuk parliamentary constituency, was established about 140 years ago. The land in the area is TOL land, and there are a total of 149 houses in the area. "The available allocation is approximately RM86,000 for each house. But I believe that with the donations collected, families may want to add extensions or make improvements, and we will leave that up to each family. "The ministry, Nadma, state government, Perak Land and Mines Office, Welfare Department, and other agencies have coordinated efforts to ensure that TOL ownership rights are handed over to the head of each affected family, house, and shop. "As for the temple, an individual who is a friend of mine has promised to provide assistance for its reconstruction. I've already delivered part of that donation today," he said. On Saturday, an early morning fire destroyed 21 houses, a restaurant, and a temple in Bagan Pasir Laut. Firefighting efforts were hampered by low water pressure from fire hydrants and the risk of electrical arcing from still-active power cables.
