360 Kemas childcare centres in T’ganu at risk of floods

JERTIH – Some 360 childcare centres run by the Community Development Department (Kemas) in Terengganu have been identified as being at risk in the event of a major flood in the state.

Terengganu Kemas director Faridah Mat said they were among 900 Kemas childcare centres in Terengganu that were in flood “hot spots” areas such as Kemaman, Dungun, Hulu Terengganu and Besut districts.

“However, the Kemas staff at the affected centres are prepared and they have made the necessary preparations to deal with the possibility of a flood,” she added.

She told reporters this after the opening of a programme at the grounds of Lapan Kubah Mosque, Kg Lapan Kotak, here today.

The event was opened by Felda chairman Tan Sri Idris Jusoh, who is also Besut Parliament member. – Bernama, September 16, 2022
