PM: Checks delayed aid


Meeting flood victims: Ismail Sabri handed out aid to 80 recipients in Kampung Guai, Kampung Charuk Puting and Kampung Batu Bor. — Bernama

BERA: The delay in the distribution of flood aid, especially the RM500 and RM2,500 help for the purchase of electrical goods, was due to the eligibility verification process, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Prime Minister said that despite some delays, especially those involving non-evacuated victims, he had instructed all parties to speed up the process so that it won’t be as late as it was in previous floods, which had taken up to six months.
