PUTRAJAYA: The Fire and Rescue Department will refer to the Public Service Department (PSD) matters concerning the welfare of two of its officers involved in the flash flood incident in Rasuwa, Nepal, following a glacier collapse in the Himalayan region earlier this month.
The Fire and Rescue Department in Malaysia has approached the Public Service Department (PSD) regarding the welfare of two of its officers who were involved in a flash flood incident in Rasuwa, Nepal. The disaster occurred due to a glacier collapse in the Himalayan region earlier this month. Director-General Datuk Seri Nor Hisham Mohammad informed reporters that the matter encompasses the continuation of salary payments and pension arrangements for the two firefighters who were part of the tragedy.
Among them is Mohd Sani Harul, the deputy director of the Planning and Research Division in the headquarters, who is set to retire on September 23. The department is awaiting further action from the PSD to determine whether continuing his salary and pension arrangements is justified. Mohd Sani will be retiring, and thus the process of continuing his salary and pension arrangements will be referred to the PSD to determine the appropriate course of action.
