DUNGUN: Losses due to floods throughout the country during the Northeast Monsoon this time are estimated at almost RM1bil, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

"But as an estimate, we put the figure at almost RM1bil,” he told reporters after officiating at the Santunan Kasih Ramadan programme of the Rural and Regional Development Ministry at Masjid Sultan Mahmud in Bandar Al Muktafi Billah Shah here on Sunday . Ahmad Zahid, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, said the losses included damage to infrastructure like roads, which are being repaired by the Public Works Department for federal roads and the ministry for rural roads.

However, Ahmad Zahid expressed regret over the unfair distribution of flood aid in certain states during the flood season last year.
