KOTA BHARU, Nov 18 — The Social Welfare Department (JKM) has sent essential items such as food to all forward bases in preparation for potential floods during the northeast monsoon season, said Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Aiman Athirah Sabu.
The essential goods were sent from the main depot in each state to the forward bases.
“We cannot wait until the flood hits to deliver the aid; we will not have enough time.
“For example, the main JKM depot in Pengkalan Chepa has also sent the essential items to forward bases in all districts in Kelantan,” she said.
Aiman Athirah was speaking at the officiation of Angkatan Wanita Amanah Nasional (Awan), Amanah’s women wing earlier today, in her capacity as its chief.
Present was Kota Lama state assemblywoman Hafidzah Mustakim.
The northeast monsoon season which began this month is expected to last until March next year.
