PASIR SALAK: The Perak government and the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) have allocated RM240,000 as compassionate aid for victims of a storm in Seberang Perak and Kampung Gajah. The aid was distributed to more than 200 recipients affected by the storm in April. Khairul Azwan Harun, special officer to the Perak Menteri Besar for Kampung Gajah, stated that the assistance reflects the state government's commitment to public welfare. He explained that the aid was distributed in two phases, with RM170,000 allocated for repairs to 21 damaged houses in Phase One. Phase Two involved varying amounts given to 190 recipients based on the extent of damage to their properties. The aid was presented at Dewan Orang Ramai Felcra Seberang Perak during a ceremony today. The storm, which occurred on April 13, caused damage to over 50 houses in Larut Matang and Selama districts. Khairul Azwan also highlighted the need for the RM200 million second phase of the Kampung Gajah flood mitigation plan to proceed without delay. He warned that postponing the project could heighten risks for residents facing annual flood and storm threats. The mitigation plan aims to safeguard the area from future disasters caused by high tides or heavy rainfall. - Bernama

SejaTi MADANI: Value-added Catfish Products Help Boost Community Income
PASIR SALAK, June 20 (Bernama) -- The Sejahtera Komuniti MADANI (SejaTi MADANI) programme has proven effective in strengthening the local economy, particularly for the urban poor and communities in rural and remote areas. Perak Menteri Besar's special officer for the Kampung Gajah state constituency, Khairul Azwan Harun, said that with a government grant of RM100,000 under the SejaTi MADANI initiative, the community of Kampung Makmur near Kampung Gajah here has achieved notable success through the production of value-added products derived from catfish farming in canvas ponds. "The Kampung Makmur community now has three main downstream products, namely catfish balls, cakes, and butter garlic herb fillets, all produced entirely by participants of the SejaTi MADANI programme. "This project not only generates income from fish farming but also imparts new knowledge and helps increase the income of local residents through the creation of downstream products," he told Bernama after launching the products under the SejaTi MADANI programme by the Kampung Makmur Village Development and Security Committee (JPKK) at Pasir Salak Community College here today. He also reminded recipients of SejaTi MADANI funds to ensure that the allocations bring positive impact to the local community. "Participants must realise that the SejaTi MADANI programme, initiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, is meant to help the community grow their economy," he said. Meanwhile, Kampung Makmur JPKK chairman Muhammad Fauzi Ahmad Shaharudin said the launch of the downstream products marked the continuation of the catfish farming project undertaken by the community in September last year. "Following the success of our catfish farming, we began a new chapter by developing downstream products, and a total of 17 JPKK members took part in an intensive training series at Pasir Salak Community College from May 21 to June 12," he said. He added that in addition to processing techniques, participants also received training in packaging, labelling, digital marketing, and accounting to ensure they not only produce quality goods but are also capable of managing and promoting their business effectively.
