JASIN (Bernama): The Housing and Local Government Ministry is waiting for Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's decision to grant a monthly critical allowance of RM200 to members of the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (JBPM) as enjoyed by the military and police personnel, says its minister.

"I am sure it will be granted, but it will take a while. I hope fire and rescue personnel nationwide can be patient,” Zuraida Kamaruddin (pic) told reporters after attending the Aidilfitri Perdana Open House organised by the ministry's Coalition of National Community Policy Driving Force at Jasin Bestari fire station here Saturday (June 22).
