KUALA BERANG: The disaster relief centre at SMK Matang here has been fully upgraded from a temporary centre to a permanent one and is now ready for use, says National Disaster Manage­ment Agency.

Its director-general, Meor Ismail Meor Akim, said the upgrading works involved converting an unused hostel block at the school into a permanent disaster relief centre, carried out from July to December last year at a cost of about RM907,000.
