TERENGGANU Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has reported that the recent floods in the state resulted in significantly less infrastructure damage compared to previous incidents.

He refrained from providing specific details on the losses but noted that the agriculture and livestock sectors experienced only minor damage due to the disaster.

“While we do not yet know the full extent of the damage, it is significantly less than what has happened in previous years.

“The state government is also still collecting information on the number of families who have had their homes damaged. If I am not mistaken, it’s not more than 1,000 families,” he told reporters after attending a ceremony to hand over Notice 5A to eligible recipients in the Ru Rendang state constituency in Marang today.

Samsuri added that the state government, together with the Terengganu Social Welfare Department, is currently coordinating appropriate assistance for the affected victims.

Terengganu was struck by three waves of floods at the end of last year due to the Northeast Monsoon season, with the last wave hitting all eight districts in the state from December 23 to 31. – Bernama, January 21, 2024.
