IPOH: Peruntukan RM260 juta kepada Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (Nadma) menerusi Belanjawan 2027 bakal memperkukuh kesiapsiagaan negara menghadapi bencana, khususnya melalui peningkatan peralatan dan kelengkapan operasi.
Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi berkata, peruntukan itu turut membolehkan Nadma membantu agensi barisan hadapan lain dalam memastikan pengurusan bencana dapat dilaksanakan dengan lebih berkesan.
“Kita tahu agensi yang membantu Nadma seperti Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM), Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM), Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) dan Angkatan Pertahanan Awam Malaysia (APM), mereka tidak mempunyai peralatan mencukupi.
“Jadi, apa yang kita lakukan ialah membantu mereka untuk membeli peralatan seperti bot, peralatan pam air atau mesin penapis air ketika tiada bekalan air.
“Langkah-langkah proaktif inilah yang telah diumumkan oleh Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,” katanya ketika bercakap dalam sidang akhbar selepas menyempurnakan Majlis Peluncuran Bulan Kesiapsiagaan Nasional 2026 di Pusat Konvensyen Ipoh, di sini hari ini.
Yang turut hadir, Menteri Besar Perak, Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad; Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri, Datuk Ahmad Suaidi Abdul Rahim; Speaker Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Perak, Datuk Seri Mohammad Zahir Abdul Khalid dan Ketua Pengarah Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (NADMA), Datuk Meor Ismail Meor Akim.
Menurut beliau, bilangan pusat pemindahan kekal akan ditambah tahun depan mengikut keperluan bagi menampung mangsa bencana khususnya di kawasan yang kerap dilanda banjir.
Katanya, ketika ini, dua pusat pemindahan kekal disediakan bagi setiap negeri, namun penambahan akan dilaksanakan susulan peningkatan peruntukan yang diterima.
“Insya-Allah tahun depan dengan penambahan peruntukan yang diterima ini, kita akan tambah pusat pemindahan kekal mengikut keperluan.
“Sasarannya banyak tetapi tiada kemampuan kewangan. Jadi kita berikan keutamaan di kawasan titik hitam yang kerap dilanda banjir dan merekodkan jumlah mangsa yang tinggi,” katanya.
Pada pembentangan Belanjawan 2027 di Dewan Rakyat Jumaat lalu, Anwar mengumumkan peruntukan sebanyak RM260 juta kepada Nadma bagi memantapkan ketersediaan dan pengurusan bencana di seluruh negara.
Sebagai langkah keprihatinan, kerajaan turut bersetuju meningkatkan kadar Bantuan Pembaikan Rumah bagi mangsa bencana daripada RM5,000 kepada RM10,000. – UTUSAN

IPOH, Oct 11 — The National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) will prioritise the RM260 million allocated under Budget 2027 for establishing more Permanent Disaster Relief Centres (PPKBs) and procuring disaster preparedness assets and equipment, said Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The deputy prime minister said the move would enable Nadma to assist frontline agencies in enhancing their operational capabilities, particularly in dealing with disasters such as floods.
“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,” he said.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also National Disaster Management Committee chairman, said this at a press conference after launching the 2026 National Preparedness Month (BKN) at the Ipoh Convention Centre here today.
He said the target of establishing two PPKBs in each state would focus on hotspot areas that frequently experience floods and require the evacuation of large numbers of victims.
On July 6, Deputy Digital Minister Datuk Wilson Ugak Kumbong, representing the Rural and Regional Development Ministry, said during a Special Chamber session in the Dewan Rakyat that 15 PPKBs involving nine states were expected to begin operations in stages from this year as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s disaster management system.
Of the total, one PPKB each in Johor and Pahang has been fully completed, nine are under construction, while the remaining four are at the procurement and planning stages.
He said the rate of assistance for repairing homes affected by disasters had also been increased from RM5,000 to RM10,000 per family to help victims repair their homes and rebuild their lives after a disaster.
“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. — Bernama

IPOH (Oct 11): Malaysia is still awaiting a response from Indonesia on its offer to help put out forest and land fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan that have caused transboundary haze, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
He said that during a visit to Jakarta last month, he had met Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and a representative of the Vice-President to discuss the offer of assistance.
“The National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) and the Foreign Ministry have also written to their respective counterparts, but there has been no response yet.
“We take a positive view that perhaps they do not require our assistance. We remain optimistic and assume the best,” he told reporters after officiating the launch of National Preparedness Month (BKN) 2026 at the Ipoh Convention Centre here today.
In his speech, Ahmad Zahid, who is also chairman of the National Disaster Management Committee, said Malaysia had offered a firefighting aircraft, three helicopters and 52 officers and personnel to assist with firefighting operations in Indonesia.
Meanwhile, he said the Special Malaysia Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (SMART) not only assisted in managing disasters domestically but was also always ready to provide aid to other countries affected by disasters.
He said the team had also been deployed to Nepal to help locate 55 Malaysians who remained uncontactable following a disaster there, including by sending DNA samples to assist in the identification process.
“So far, we have not found any remains to be brought back to Malaysia. We are still waiting, and I would like to congratulate the SMART team,” he said.
Ahmad Zahid also expressed pride in SMART’s recognition as the second-best rescue team in Asia after Japan.
He said SMART had also retained its international Heavy Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) classification after undergoing a 36-hour assessment involving 173 criteria. – Bernama

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.
