PETALING JAYA: The registration of flood victims must be expedited to avoid late payment of Bantuan Wang Ihsan, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic).
The Deputy Prime Minister said authorities are to facilitate the registration and identification process of victims so that financial aid could be distributed to those affected as soon as possible.
He also directed the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) to continuously monitor the preparedness of all agencies at every level to handle potential disasters.
Ahmad Zahid said authorities have deployed over 23,000 personnel in Sarawak, consisting of responders from the armed forces, the police, Fire and Rescue Department, Civil Defence Force, Social Welfare Department and Health Ministry.
The deployment includes a comprehensive logistics operation, featuring 526 land assets, 214 riverine and sea assets, 15 aerial assets and 269 support assets, he said.
Sabah has mobilised 14,209 responders, backed by 977 land assets, 463 water assets and 16 aerial assets, he added.
The Deputy Prime Minister said there are 15,009 victims in temporary shelters as at press time, marking a drop from 17,637 recorded earlier in the day.
Nadma’s figures indicate that 26 districts in Sarawak and Sabah were affected by floods, with 4,416 families housed in 87 temporary evacuation centres.
Ahmad Zahid, who is the central disaster management committee chairman, said three districts in Sarawak remain the hardest hit, namely Bintulu (4,928 evacuees), Serian (1,966 evacuees) and Selangau (1,056 evacuees).
“As weather conditions improve, response teams, with NGOS and local communities, should now focus on post-flood recovery and repairs while maintaining high preparedness levels in case of further rainfall and flooding.”
He added that the government has allocated emergency funds to all states and response agencies to support flood operations for the 2024/2025 northeast monsoon.

“Untuk kita kenalpasti apa lagi kekurangan dan kita boleh sediakan kenudahan untuk masa akan datang secara kekal khususnya tandas dan juga bilik mandi dan kalau perlu kadang-kadang kita memerlukan tempat untuk memasak dan sebagainya.
“Itu perlu disediakan sebagai sebahagian asas untuk keselesaan setiap mangsa yang dipindahkan sementara ketika berlakunya bencana,” katanya.

PHILADELPHIA (AP): A small plane crashed in Northeast Philadelphia 30 seconds after it took off as crews respond to a fiery scene, Pennsylvania’s governor said on Friday (Jan 31).
Gov. Josh Shapiro said he is offering all "Commonwealth resources as they respond to the small private plane crash in Northeast Philly.”
The crash happened less than 3 miles (4.8km) from Northeast Philadelphia Airport, which primarily serves business jets and charter flights. Photos taken at the crash site appear to show residential homes on fire.
Michael Schiavone, 37, was sitting at his home in Mayfair on Friday when he heard a loud bang and his house shook. He said it felt like a mini earthquake, and when he checked his home security camera footage, he said it looked like a missile was coming down. "There was a large explosion, so I thought we were under attack for a second,” he said.
Flight data showed a small jet taking off from the airport at 6:06 p.m. and disappearing from radar about 30 seconds later after climbing to an altitude of 1,600 feet (487 meters).
The plane crashed in a busy intersection near Roosevelt Mall, an outdoor shopping centre where first responders were blocking traffic, and onlookers crowded onto a street corner in the residential neighbourhood of Rhawnhurst. Philadelphia’s emergency management office said that roads are closed in the area.
One cellphone video taken by a witness moments after the plane crashed showed a chaotic scene with debris scattered across the intersection. A wall of orange glowed just beyond the intersection as a plume of black smoke quickly rose into the sky, while some witnesses could be heard crying and sirens blared.
The Federal Aviation Administration said two people were aboard the plane, which was a Learjet 55. The plane, a small, business-type jet, was en route to Springfield, Missouri.
The plane appeared to be a medical transport jet. The plane that took off and quickly disappeared from radar was registered to a company operating as Med Jets.
The FAA said the National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation. The NTSB, which investigates air crashes, said it was gathering information about the crash. – AP
