PETALING JAYA: The government is urged to send the necessary aid to Turkiye after a major 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck and killed thousands in the country and Syria.

MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, in conveying his condolences to the victims in Turkiye and affected areas, appealed to the government to send this aid alongside the 75 Malaysian Special Search and Rescue Team (SMART) members already deployed to southern Turkiye to assist in the search and rescue (SAR) there.
