Najib Orders Federal Agencies To Come In Aid Of Flood Victims

JITRA, Nov 6 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has instructed all federal government agencies to come in aid of flood victims in Kedah and Perlis.
Conveying the order via a phone call to his political secretary Datuk Shahlan Ismail here, Najib said, there should be no discrimination in the provision of aid and that it should be given to all irrespective of their political affiliations.
"I am aware of how serious the flood situation in Kedah and Perlis and I will do all I can to help the flood victims," he said.
In the phone conversation, Najib, who is recovering from chicken pox, also asked Shahlan about the flood situation and expressed the hope that the people would be patient in facing the calamity.
He also thanked the people for their prayers for his health and speedy recovery.
Meanwhile, Shahlan said the Prime Minister's Office was now working with numerous corporations as well as with the Association of Wives of Cabinet Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti) to provide assistance to the flood victims.
Non-governmental organisations would also be roped in to help the victims after the flood subsided, he said.
"We will provide about 10,000 units of gas stoves to the victims in Kedah and Perlis. I am currently dealing with the respective agencies to distribute these items," he said.
Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Mohd Johari Baharom, who was also here to hand over assistance to the victims, said the Muda Agriculture Development Authority and National Security Council would survey damages to crops so that assistance could be given to those affected.
A Kampung Pulau Timbul resident Aishah Hassan, 59, said the assistance provided by the state government was not sufficient.
Another villager, Saad Talib, 49, said most of the assistance were provided by the federal government.
"We are cut off from the outside world," he said, claiming that the state PAS government only provided assistance in areas where the people were mostly their supporters.

tunku : the federal government had gone to the ground from the first day.i had asked few friends in kedah about the situation there and they said that they have not seen any of the pakatan leaders coming to help them out except few places where the people were mostly their supporters.in time of disaster we should not discriminate anyone regardless of the political ideology.the government of the day should help all it's people. pas are not showing the islamic value in them.it is not too late, pas government should provide aid to all kedahans together with the federal government.they should not let the burden on the federal alone.
