IPOH: Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi mengesahkan belum menerima maklum balas daripada Indonesia berhubung tawaran untuk membantu negara itu dalam usaha pemadaman kebakaran di Kalimantan.
Beliau yang juga Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bencana Negara berkata tawaran itu disampaikan beliau sendiri ketika melakukan lawatan rasmi ke Jakarta dan bertemu Presiden Prabowo Subianto, membabitkan bantuan tiga helikopter, sebuah pesawat dan 55 anggota.
Tawaran berkenaan, katanya mencerminkan kesediaan Malaysia membantu negara jiran itu menangani kebakaran yang berlaku.
"Bagi pihak kerajaan Malaysia, saya menawarkan bantuan kerajaan dan rakyat Malaysia, namun sehingga kini kita belum menerima maklum balas terhadap tawaran itu.
"Mereka mengucapkan terima kasih atas tawaran bantuan ikhlas kita, tetapi bantuan itu masih belum disalurkan," katanya berucap pada majlis perasmian Bulan Kesiapsiagaan Nasional 2026 bertemakan 'MADANI Siaga: Tanggungjawab Bersama' di Pusat Konvensyen Ipoh, di sini, hari ini.
Turut hadir Menteri Besar Perak, Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad dan Ketua Pengarah Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (NADMA), Datuk Meor Ismail Meor Akim.
Pada sidang media selepas majlis itu, Ahmad Zahid berkata NADMA dan Kementerian Luar turut mengutus surat kepada rakan sejawat masing-masing di Indonesia, namun belum juga menerima sebarang maklum balas.
"Kita melihat perkara ini secara positif dan menganggap mungkin mereka tidak memerlukan bantuan kita. Seperti yang saya katakan, kita 'husnudzon' (bersangka baik) terhadap mereka," katanya.
Ditanya sama ada Malaysia akan mempertimbangkan tindakan undang-undang, beliau berkata perkara itu diserahkan kepada Jabatan Peguam Negara (AGC) untuk meneliti sama ada sebarang tindakan perlu diambil.
"Jika kita menjunjung semangat ASEAN dan menyelaraskan usaha bagi mencegah situasi seperti ini, itu lebih baik. Mencegah lebih baik daripada mengubati.
"Pendekatan itu lebih wajar, selaras dengan semangat ASEAN, berbanding mengambil tindakan undang-undang," katanya.

Budget 2027: Nadma prioritises RM260m allocation for permanent relief centres, assets, and doubled home repair aid

KUALA LUMPUR – The National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) will channel its RM260 million allocation under Budget 2027 toward constructing more Permanent Disaster Relief Centres (PPKBs) and acquiring essential preparedness equipment, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced today.
Speaking at a press conference following the launch of National Preparedness Month 2026 at the Ipoh Convention Centre, Ahmad Zahid emphasized that the funding boost would strengthen frontline operational readiness, particularly during severe flood crises.
“We want to establish two permanent disaster relief centres in each state. Insya-Allah, with the additional allocation next year, we will add more according to requirements,” said Ahmad Zahid, who chairs the National Disaster Management Committee.
He noted that the target of two PPKBs per state will focus strategically on high-risk hotspot areas prone to recurrent flooding and mass evacuations.
The initiative expands on ongoing efforts outlined on July 6 by Deputy Digital Minister Datuk Wilson Ugak Kumbong, who informed the Dewan Rakyat that 15 PPKBs across nine states were scheduled to open in stages beginning this year. Of those initial 15, facilities in Johor and Pahang are complete, nine remain under construction, and four are in procurement and planning phases.
Beyond physical infrastructure, Ahmad Zahid confirmed that the budget will fund critical rescue assets—including boats and high-capacity water pumps—for responding agencies.
Direct financial assistance for disaster victims is also receiving a major boost. Ahmad Zahid announced that the maximum home repair grant for affected families has doubled from RM5,000 to RM10,000.
Furthermore, disbursement protocols have been streamlined to ensure faster financial relief.
“In addition, aid management has also been improved, with Bantuan Wang Ihsan being distributed to victims while they are at Temporary Evacuation Centres, before they return to their respective homes, to expedite assistance to affected families,” he said. – October 12, 2026

IPOH, Oct 11 — Preparedness in disaster management helps reduce property losses, including damage to public assets and infrastructure, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said that losses due to disasters in the country last year reached RM636.9 million, including RM380.2 million involving public assets and infrastructure.
“This figure was lower than the RM933.4 million in 2024. That is why preparedness must protect two important values, namely the value of life and economic value. Yes, we want to save lives, while also protecting homes, taking care of people’s livelihoods and preserving the fruits of the people’s hard work.
“This is where the early warning system comes in. These are awareness programmes that we must collectively translate into action. We want to raise public awareness of the importance of National Preparedness Month (BKN) in building the capacity to address potential risks before disaster strikes,” said Ahmad Zahid, who also chairs the Central Disaster Management Committee.
He said this when officiating at the launch of BKN 2026 at the Ipoh Convention Centre here today.
Also present were Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad and National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) director-general Datuk Seri Meor Ismail Meor Akim.
Ahmad Zahid said rescue teams would be mobilised whenever a disaster occurred, while the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) provided early warning systems to identify hotspots expected to experience floods and other disaster risks.
“However, the ability to respond efficiently after a disaster must be accompanied by a strong commitment to reducing risks before they occur. Our success is also be measured by how effectively we protect the public and reduce the risks faced by those who may be affected,” he said.
Meanwhile, he said disaster risk reduction should begin at the land-use planning and urban development stages, including identifying areas at risk of landslides and taking early action.
In addition, he said river management and the monitoring of high-risk areas are crucial for mitigating the impact of disasters.
He said early warning must be timely, easily understood and followed by actions to save lives during disasters, including giving families sufficient time to evacuate before water levels rise and helping the elderly and children reach safety, with effective communication being a key factor.
Ahmad Zahid also urged every state to translate the National Disaster Risk Reduction Policy 2030 into action plans tailored to local risks, with clearly defined agency responsibilities and implementation targets to ensure comprehensive protection for the people.
“We have managed to develop the Cell Broadcast System through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), which is now in its final stage. The system does not merely monitor TikTok and other online posts; it also allows alerts to be sent directly to mobile phones in at-risk areas without interfering with or using personal data,” he added.
He said field operations were also supported by volunteers, with nearly 30,000 volunteers from 45 agencies across 14 states participating in more than 1,000 disaster relief missions over the past 10 months.
“We adhere to the two Cs: communication and coordination, with the two Cs meaning information must be conveyed clearly and on time.
“Actions must also be coordinated so that the people know what needs to be done, the committee knows how to provide assistance and agencies can act without delay.. this is the shift I want to see resulting from this National Preparedness Month,” he added. — Bernama
