RM10,000 aid for families of Nepal-Tibet flood victims
The payments will be made in order of priority to the next of kin through the national disaster management agency.
Families of the 54 Malaysian victims impacted by the August Nepal-Tibet floods will receive a one-time payment of RM10,000 each, as announced by Human Resources Minister R Ramanan during today's Cabinet meeting. The decision regarding the aid distribution was made by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. The aid will be prioritized in the following order: first to the spouse, second to the parents, and third to the children.
Ramanan informed reporters after visiting the Deepavali carnival at the National Stadium today. The floods, triggered by a glacial ice and rock avalanche in Tibet's Lhende Khola, resulted in the death of 1,451 people and left around 5,700 individuals, including over 600 foreigners, missing.
