KUALA TERENGGANU, Dec 30 — Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari handed over a RM500,000 flood donation to the Terengganu state government to help those affected by the incident.
The handover was carried out during Amirudin’s courtesy visit to Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar’s official residence in Seri Iman, here today.
“I believe this donation would help alleviate the people’s burden and ease the Terengganu state government in tackling floods.
“This is a collaboration between states, just like what had been done by Terengganu and other states last year when Selangor was hit by massive floods,” he said when met, today.
Also present at the event were Terengganu State Secretary Tengku Seri Bijaya Raja Datuk Tengku Farok Hussin Tengku Abdul Jalil and Selangor National Sports Council Mohamad Nizam Marjugi.
On Tuesday (December 27), Amirudin handed over a similar donation to Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob as a gesture of sympathy for the plight of the people in the state.
On December 20, Amirudin said the Selangor state government has donated RM1 million to Kelantan and Terengganu, as part of the effort in helping them to manage the floods in those states.
