NSTP-Media Prima fund gives aid to Teluk Intan flood victims
A total of 117 families affected by the recent floods in the state received aid from Tabung Bencana NSTP–Media Prima here yesterday.
The aid, in the form of food items worth RM23,400, was handed to the victims at the SK Changkat Jong relief centre, where they have been taking shelter since last week.
Each family received items worth RM200, including food like biscuits, instant noodles, packet drinks, rice and cooking oil, as well as cleaning items, such as floor wipers, brooms, pails and detergent.
Present to distribute the aid was Changkat Jong state legislative assembly coordinator Mohamad Faizal Ismail, as well as Hilir Perak district assistant officer (development) Nurul Afizal Zainal Abidin, Hilir Perak deputy police chief Superintendent Yahaya Hassan and 10 Media Prima-NSTP brigade volunteers led by Muhammad Nadzrein Johari.
A recipient, Mira Ahmad, 30, said she was happy to receive aid from Tabung Bencana NSTP– Media Prima and thanked the company for its generosity and compassion.
“I am happy to receive the aid and this could ease my burden after my house was affected by the flood last week.”
Rohani Ahmad, 64, said the aid was timely since the flood affected her income.
“Most of my family members only do kerja kampung (village odd jobs).
“With the continuous flooding, most of us could not work and the aid eases our burden.”
Meanwhile, Nurul Afizal said two relief centres in Dewan MPTI Langkap and SK Dato’ Yahya Subban had been closed and only SK Changkat Jong housed flood victims.
Up to 3pm yesterday, 436 flood victims from 107 families in three districts are taking shelter at four relief centres.
A total of 77 victims were moved to SK Changkat Jong and 149 at SK Changkat Lobak in Hilir Perak district, 128 at SK Parit Haji Aman in Kerian district and 82 at Sekolah Rendah Agama Rakyat Padang Serai in Manjung district.
