Anwar conveys condolences to family of Tambun fire victims, provides immediate aid

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has expressed his condolences to the family of three individuals who tragically lost their lives in a house fire in Tambun. The Prime Minister's office has instructed the service centre to offer immediate support to alleviate the family's distress. Special officer Mohamad Hairul Amir Sabri informed reporters that Anwar had been briefed on the incident and given directives to ensure the family receives all necessary aid.

The service centre has already provided the bereaved family with RM5,000 in immediate assistance. The Implementation Coordination Unit will conduct an assessment tomorrow to evaluate the level of further assistance, which may include repairs to the damaged house or provision of temporary accommodation. The service centre will also explore the possibility of arranging temporary accommodation to help the family during the repair process, as it might take considerable time.

Additionally, the service centre plans to discuss potential counselling and other forms of support with the Social Welfare Department and other relevant agencies. The family is expected to visit the hospital today for identification and forensic procedures, while the funeral is anticipated to take place tomorrow. The service centre will continue to support the family until all matters are settled and everyone is taken care of.
