Selangor Families Hit Hard by Floods to Get Extra RM2,500 Aid

Selangor families facing heavy losses from prolonged flooding are set to receive another RM2,500 in government aid.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced the assistance on 9 November, with payments expected to begin the following day, Bernama reported.

The payment supplements the RM1,000 Bantuan Wang Ihsan provided through the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA), which Anwar acknowledged may be insufficient for families facing substantial losses.

The additional funds are intended to help eligible households replace damaged essentials.

The aid falls under the Prime Minister’s Department’s Implementation Coordination Unit, with distribution coordinated with the Selangor government.

Anwar also directed authorities to accelerate flood mitigation projects to address recurring flooding.

The announcement followed his visit to a relief centre at SK Parit Mahang in Jeram, where 154 people from 36 families were sheltering.
