KUALA LUMPUR – Civil servants affected by the flood can obtain unrecorded emergency leave, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He also suggested that employers in the private sector do the same – give leave without cutting their employees’ salaries or annual leave.
Ismail Sabri said the government will also provide RM100 million in post-flood allocations for the repair of homes and infrastructure.
He said the government was aware of the extent of damage caused by the ongoing massive floods that hit several states.
The government will also contribute RM1,000 for each household affected by floods, he added.
“In September this year, the government had raised RM1,000 per household in compassionate aid, and we will expedite payments to areas affected by the floods such as Selangor and six other states,” he said.
The prime minister was speaking to the media after chairing a special meeting on plans and actions to be taken to manage the floods. – Bernama, December 19, 2021
