BERA: Payment for aid initiatives to ease the burden of flood victims will start on Monday (Jan 10) with the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU) of the Prime Minister’s Department channelling the money to district and land offices before it is distributed to recipients.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the payment covered the contribution for the purchase of essential goods amounting to RM2,500; vehicle repair discount; rebate of RM500 for the purchase of electrical goods; and home repair assistance of between RM5,000 and RM15,000 for damage caused by the disaster.

"There are three methods of payment, namely directly to the household , at community halls and such, or credited into recipients' accounts."I want this payment to be expedited... there are no forms that need to be filled in because the list is ready. "Our principle is not to have a complicated bureaucracy. Assistance should be made easy,” he told a press conference Sunday at the district council convention hall here.

He was speaking after presenting RM1,000 compassionate aid from the Federal Government and RM500 contribution from the Pahang government to 478 flood victims, including 45 victims of the second wave of floods. – Bernama
