KUANTAN – A total of 1,323 heads of households in this district who were affected by the floods at the end of last year and the beginning of this year have not claimed their portion of aid under the Basic Necessities Assistance and Home Repair Assistance schemes.
Kuantan Mayor Datuk Hamdan Hussin said the number of heads of households eligible for the aid schemes are 23,857 for the former and 1,611 for the latter.
“The unclaimed money is supposed to be returned to the responsible party tomorrow, but the Pahang Federal Development Office has agreed to extend the claim period until the end of February 2023,” he said today.
He spoke to reporters after closing of the Young Caliph Programme organised by Masjid Tepian Putra, involving 170 participants aged seven to 15 here today.
Therefore, Hamdan urged those who have yet to receive the assistance to check their respective names with the Kuantan City Council. – Bernama, December 30, 2022
