MALAYSIA Airports has pledged RM1.4mil to provide continuous assistance to communities affected by the recent floods.
Thus far, relief efforts have centred on areas surrounding three airports – Sultan Abdul Halim Airport in Alor Setar, Sultan Ismail Petra Airport in Kota Baru and Sultan Mahmud Airport in Kuala Terengganu.
As part of this initiative, Malaysia Airports has supplied 1,000 modular tents to each of these airports and National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma).
These tents will be deployed at temporary evacuation centres to provide shelter for displaced individuals.
In addition to providing monetary contributions, Malaysia Airports has worked with Demi Rakyat & Negara (GDRN) and other related agencies in distributing essential supplies to affected communities, including hygiene kits and non-perishable food items.
Moving forward, the relief package will also include bedding sets as well as cleaning equipment to further support immediate recovery efforts.
Malaysia Airports managing director Datuk Mohd Izani Ghani emphasised the organisation’s commitment to aiding flood-stricken communities, stating, “Malaysia Airports is fully committed to standing by those in need. We are working closely with Nadma, GDRN and other agencies to ensure that aid is delivered swiftly and effectively.”
