Tsunami-effect in Kelantan?
Stricken Kelantan
“If this is the public Federal government bill, what about the damages suffered by the private sector and the million flood victims?”
“damage data reported by the various ministries and government agencies in the following cases have already exceeded RM1.6 billion”
“When on Tuesday together with Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasam and MPs Anthony Loke and Liew Chin Tong, I visited Gua Musang and Kuala Krai, including the Ground Zero zones of Manek Urai, Manjor, Karangan, Laloh, Dabong and Kemubu, no cleaning up was possible as there was neither water nor electricity for the devastated areas two weeks after the flood catastrophe.”
Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia Huang Huikang on behalf of the Red Cross Society of China handed over a check of 100,000 U.S. dollars to the Malaysian Red Crescent to help the Malaysian people who suffer from the recent flood. The Chinese Embassy in Malaysia recently also donated RM50, 000 (about 14,000 dollars) worth goods and materials to three states of Malaysia, of which, RM30,000 (8,400 dollars) went to the worst-hit Terengganu, and RM10,000 (2,800 dollars) to Kelantan and Pahang, respectively.
