DPM urges preparedness as monsoon wave advances south

Govt agencies, residents warned to stay vigilant, follow SOPs as fourth monsoon wave approaches

CAMERON HIGHLANDS – Government agencies and residents in the southern region have been urged to be vigilant and follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) as the fourth wave of the Northeast Monsoon (MTL) moves south.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said state agencies and committees must be ready to take immediate action to deal with disasters caused by MTL, including floods.

“The fourth wave of the MTL (Northeast Monsoon) has shifted to the south, and I hope that all the committees and agencies involved can follow the SOPs stipulated by Nadma (National Disaster Management Agency) and also APM (Malaysian Civil Defence Force) and other agencies,” he told reporters after visiting the landslide disaster site in the Orang Asli settlement of Sg Ruil, Tanah Rata, here today.

Earlier, Zahid, who is also chairman of the National Disaster Management Committee, visited the Sg Ruil Orang Asli village hall temporary relief centre (PPS), which housed 88 victims from 17 families affected by the October 12 incident last year.

Commenting on the flood situation in Johor, Zahid said the number of victims has increased again, but with the cooperation of the agencies involved, flood management has been found to be improving based on previous years’ experience.

According to Nadma, as of 6am this morning, 1,197 flood victims in Johor had taken refuge in 12 PPS, a slight increase from 1,153 last night. 

A total of 793 victims were placed in eight PPS in Kota Tinggi, 277 victims in two PPS in Mersing, and one PPS each in Johor Bahru (43 victims) and Kluang (84 victims).​ – January 6, 2024
