PUTRAJAYA, March 17 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today directed all ministry machinery to help in post-flood operations in Johor, saying the Finance Ministry has approved an additional allocation of RM150 million for this.
“The Cabinet gave priority to this and decided that all ministry machinery should be involved in the post-flood programmes and projects ,” he told a press conference after the meeting. He also urged non-governmental organisations , universities and volunteers to go to the ground as soon as possible to help the affected families as the task was too huge to be shouldered by the machinery in Johor alone.
“The post-flood operations now require many volunteers and basic needs and equipment like water jets. The government will supply more of this ,” he added.
