One panel to steer crises

Berita

Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has pro­posed a National Dis­aster Man­age­ment Coun­cil to be the coun­try’s highest body on dis­aster man­age­ment and risk reduc­tion.

The Deputy Prime Min­is­ter said that dur­ing any crisis, all inform­a­tion must come from a veri­fied source to ensure proper coordin­a­tion.

“For instance, in coordin­at­ing inform­a­tion, there should only be one spokes­per­son or source. Or else there will be con­flict­ing inform­a­tion. We are not ask­ing to con­sol­id­ate more power but to coordin­ate everything.

“That is why I would like to pro­pose the form­a­tion of the coun­cil as the highest body respons­ible for coordin­at­ing dis­aster man­age­ment and risk reduc­tion,” he said in a New Year address to the National Dis­aster Man­age­ment Agency (Nadma) per­son­nel here yes­ter­day.

To imple­ment the pro­posal, he dir­ec­ted Nadma to pre­pare a Cab­inet paper within one month. “You need to dis­trib­ute it to the respect­ive min­is­tries and min­is­ters to get their feed­back before I table it in the Cab­inet,” he said.

Ahmad Zahid also wanted Nadma to set a new bench­mark in national dis­aster man­age­ment for man­aging the ongo­ing north­east mon­soon.

“In my view, early pre­par­a­tions ini­ti­ated through the Cent­ral Dis­aster Man­age­ment Com­mit­tee (JPBP) meet­ing, fol­lowed by con­sist­ent coordin­a­tion at the field level, have proven that cross-min­is­terial, depart­mental, agency and state gov­ern­ment cooper­a­tion is import­ant,” he said, adding that this had reduced delays, min­im­ised con­fu­sion and accel­er­ated response dur­ing crit­ical situ­ations.

He cited the Ban­tuan Wang Ihsan via elec­tronic fund trans­fer method as another game changer in dis­aster man­age­ment, with funds dis­trib­uted dir­ectly to vic­tims.

Ahmad Zahid said this was made pos­sible through a cross-func­tional approach with Bank Sim­panan Nas­ional, sup­por­ted by a digital sys­tem via the MYIBJKM applic­a­tion developed by the Wel­fare Depart­ment.

“This approach has sig­ni­fic­antly trans­formed vic­tims’ exper­i­ence, from a pro­cess that pre­vi­ously required a wait­ing period of between three and six months. Pay­ment is made while the flood vic­tims are still in the tem­por­ary evac­u­ation centres,” he said.

Ahmad Zahid also out­lined three stra­tegic dir­ec­tions for strength­en­ing dis­aster man­age­ment – sci­ence- and data-driven pre­pared­ness; rapid and dis­cip­lined coordin­a­tion; and com­pas­sion­ate, people-centred human­it­arian action – to guide Nadma towards greater resi­li­ence and pub­lic trust.

“Dis­aster man­age­ment must move bey­ond insti­tu­tional reli­ance by lever­aging big data, pre­dict­ive ana­lyt­ics and integ­rated weather, geo­spa­tial and social risk inform­a­tion, strength­en­ing smart early warn­ing sys­tems, and adopt­ing anti­cip­at­ory action so responses occur before dis­asters strike rather than after dam­age hap­pens,” he said.

Kesiapsiagaan berasaskan sains perkasa pengurusan bencana negara

Berita

Kesiapsiagaan berasaskan sains, data dan teknologi digariskan sebagai hala tuju strategik bagi memperkasa pengurusan bencana negara dengan lebih tersusun.

Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi yang juga Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bencana Negara, berkata pengurusan bencana tidak boleh lagi bergantung kepada institusi semata-mata.

“Kita mesti memanfaatkan data raya, analitik ramalan serta integrasi maklumat cuaca, geospatial dan risiko sosial. Sistem amaran awal pintar perlu diperkukuh dan pendekatan anticipatory action mesti dijadikan amalan supaya kita bertindak sebelum bencana berlaku, bukan hanya selepas kerosakan terjadi,” katanya berucap menyampaikan amanat tahun baharu 2026 kepada warga Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (NADMA), di sini semalam.

Yang turut hadir, Ketua Pengarah NADMA, Meor Ismail Meor Akim serta Komander Pasukan Mencari dan Menyelamat Khas Malaysia (SMART), Abdul Manaf Che Isa.

Ahmad Zahid berkata, hala tuju strategik lain adalah tindakan pantas, terselaras dan berdisiplin serta kemanusiaan berteras nilai dan empati.

“Kecekapan di lapangan bergantung kepada struktur arahan yang jelas, protokol respons ke bangsaan yang standard serta latihan bersepadu dan simulasi krisis yang konsisten.

“Dalam setiap tindakan, keselamatan dan maruah mangsa mesti menjadi keutamaan. Pendekatan berpusatkan rakyat perlu menjadi asas, dengan bantuan disalurkan secara cepat, adil dan berintegriti,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Ahmad Zahid mahu pengurusan Monsun Timur Laut 2025/2026 sebagai satu penanda aras baharu dalam pengurusan bencana negara.

“Persediaan awal dimulakan melalui Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bencana Pusat (JPBP), disusuli penyelarasan konsisten peringkat lapangan membuktikan (kejayaan),” katanya.

 
 

NATIONAL DISASTER COUNCIL TO BE FORMED

Berita

National Dis­aster Man­age­ment Coun­cil will be estab­lished as the coun­try’s highest gov­ern­ing body to coordin­ate dis­aster man­age­ment and risk reduc­tion efforts.

Deputy Prime Min­is­ter Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he had instruc­ted the National Dis­aster Man­age­ment Agency (Nadma) to pre­pare a cab­inet paper, which would be cir­cu­lated to all min­is­tries for feed­back before being tabled at the cab­inet.

Zahid, who is also chair­man of the National Dis­aster Man­age­ment Com­mit­tee, said Nadma would dis­trib­ute the paper within a month. “I will per­son­ally present it to the cab­inet.

“We intend to elev­ate the Cent­ral Dis­aster Man­age­ment Com­mit­tee into a National Dis­aster Man­age­ment Coun­cil. Our aim is to sig­ni­fic­antly enhance the coun­try’s dis­aster man­age­ment frame­work,” he said dur­ing his 2026 New Year address to Nadma staff at the Smart headquar­ters here yes­ter­day. Also present was Nadma dir­ector-gen­eral Meor Ismail Meor Akim.

Zahid said the exist­ing dis­aster man­age­ment mech­an­ism, which oper­ates through the Cent­ral Dis­aster Man­age­ment Com­mit­tee, needed to be strengthened to reflect cur­rent real­it­ies.

“At present, the com­mit­tee does not dir­ectly involve men­teri besar and chief min­is­ters, even though state gov­ern­ments hold crit­ical author­ity over devel­op­ment plan­ning, land use and water resource man­age­ment.

“There is also a need for full involve­ment of fed­eral min­is­ters who pos­sess the man­date and capa­city to coordin­ate across min­is­tries and agen­cies,” he said.

“Dis­asters today are no longer isol­ated or sea­sonal. They are increas­ingly driven by cli­mate change, rapid devel­op­ment and urb­an­isa­tion, pop­u­la­tion dens­ity, as well as global uncer­tain­ties.

“Dis­asters now extend bey­ond envir­on­mental issues. They encom­pass pub­lic health, human­it­arian crises, as well as dis­rup­tions to tech­no­logy and crit­ical infra­struc­ture. That is why the old approach is no longer suf­fi­cient,” he said.

Zahid said the National Dis­aster Risk Reduc­tion Policy 2030, which is being for­mu­lated, rep­res­en­ted a long-term national com­mit­ment to strengthen pub­lic aware­ness and pre­pared­ness.

Zahid also said Malay­sia would increas­ingly rely on sci­ence, data ana­lyt­ics and tech­no­logy to anti­cip­ate dis­asters.

“Anti­cip­at­ory action must become stand­ard prac­tice. We must act before dis­asters occur, not only after dam­age has been done.”

 

Zahid proposes National Disaster Management Council for enhanced coordination

Berita

PUCHONG: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has proposed establishing a National Disaster Management Council as the highest authority for coordinating disaster management and disaster risk reduction.

During a Jan 8, 2026 speech to National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) personnel, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasised the importance of relying on verified sources of information during any crisis to ensure effective coordination.

He stated, "In coordinating information, there should be only one spokesperson or a single source. Otherwise, conflicting information may arise."

Ahmad Zahid expressed his desire to establish a council to oversee disaster management and risk reduction efforts. To facilitate this, he instructed Nadma to prepare a Cabinet paper for the proposal within one month.

 

He added, "You will need to distribute it to the relevant ministries and ministers to gather their feedback before I present it to the Cabinet."

Cadang tubuh Majlis Pengurusan Bencana Negara – Ahmad Zahid

Berita

PUCHONG – Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi mencadangkan penubuhan Majlis Pengurusan Bencana Negara sebagai badan tertinggi menyelaras pengurusan bencana di negara ini.

Menurut beliau, ia membolehkan penyelarasan maklumat yang datang daripada satu sumber sahaja ketika berlaku krisis atau bencana bagi mengelakkan kekeliruan orang ramai.

Ujarnya, dalam sistem komunikasi krisis, maklumat perlu dikoordinasikan sepenuhnya oleh Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (Nadma)
“Dalam krisis, dalam sistem komunikasi, cadangan saya maklumat itu harus datang dari satu, bukan banyak sumber untuk mengelakkan kekeliruan dan ini mesti dikoordinasikan oleh Nadma.

“Oleh sebab itu saya mencadangkan agar Majlis Pengurusan Bencana Negara ditubuhkan sebagai sebuah badan tertinggi yang bertanggungjawab menyelaras pengurusan bencana dan mengurangkan risiko bencana dan ini boleh kita murnikan,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian semasa menyampaikan amanat tahun baharu 2026 kepada warga Nadma di Markas Pasukan Mencari dan Menyelamat Khas Malaysia (Smart) di Pulau Meranti di sini hari ini.

Ahmad Zahid turut mengarahkan Nadma menyediakan kertas Kabinet dalam tempoh sebulan untuk diedarkan kepada semua kementerian dan menteri bagi mendapatkan ulasan dan beliau sendiri akan membentangkannya kepada Kabinet.

“Bukan kita tamak kuasa atau ada orang yang sensitif bila disebut mabuk kuasa, tetapi ini adalah soal penyelarasan maklumat dalam krisis. Hanya satu jurucakap. Ini wajib dilakukan.

“Biar maklumat itu datang dari pelbagai sumber, tapi jurucakap mesti daripada satu sumber dalam apa juga krisis terutama bencana. Jika tidak maklumat bercanggah,” katanya. – KOSMO! ONLINE
