KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 4 — The Environment and Water Ministry has been asked to improve the flood warning system by ensuring that the warning sound is at a higher volume and different from that of other sirens, according to the National Disaster Management Agency .
It said post-disaster initiatives included Kasa’s action to monitor bunds which were not properly maintained to overcome the problem of floods which frequently occurred in several areas. Nadma said the prime minister also directed that the distribution process of Bantuan Wang Ihsan be simplified and all menteris besar or chief ministers should ensure that every district office facilitated the distribution of the aid through several methods.
According to Nadma, flood operations throughout the country now involved 17,223 personnel of responder agencies using 3,251 combined assets of various agencies while the Social Welfare Department had distributed 544,064 food packs which were provided three times a day together with other essentials to flood victims.
All this is far to late and only scratches the surface. But it does reinforce the fact that we have a care- less , insensitive , hear -see and do nothing. Yet get paid fat salaries.
