MIRI – Victims of a fire at Kg Wireless here will be temporarily housed at the Kg Lereng Bukit community hall, said Miri MP Chiew Choon Man.

He said assistance will also be distributed to the 12 families left homeless by the blaze.

Chiew had visited the site upon his arrival from Kuala Lumpur at 10am.

“I visited the fire location and the situation was really heart-breaking as the incident affected so many people who lost their valuables and homes,” he said in a statement.

He thanked the Fire and Rescue Department for putting out the fire and Civil Defence Force personnel for carrying out safety measures at the scene, as well as the Welfare Department, Miri District Education Office, SK Syed Othman teachers, Persatuan Kebajikan Islam, Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Pekida), Parti Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu sub-branch, and Miri PKR for helping the victims.

He said the Miri parliamentary service centre team will also hand over assistance including food, baby diapers, and clothes.

“I will liaise with the MRC (Malaysian Red Crescent) to see whether there are clothes available to be distributed to the fire victims.” – Borneo Post Online, March 10, 2023
