Halls for schools often used as shelters

ALOR SETAR: A total of eight halls are being built in school premises that have often been used as flood relief centres, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said the funds to construct the buildings that will act as permanent relief centres will be taken from the National Disaster Management Agency’s (Nadma) current allocation and the move is to provide victims with more comfortable facilities.
