PETRONAS today contributed assets and equipment to rescue agencies in Negri Sembilan in preparation for the northeast monsoon. 

Petronas southern region general manager M. Zaki Mahat said two boats with engines, fuel tanks, and other boat equipment; flood victim tents (300); safety jackets (150); and raincoats (1,500) were handed over to the state Disaster Management Committee via the Civil Defence Force (CDF) in the state.

He said the initiative was part of the RM25 million Petronas flood assistance contribution announced in December last year.

“The contribution is part of the continuous effort of Petronas to assist the agencies involved in flood preparation for the anticipated monsoon season. 

“We hope our contribution and involvement can help lighten the burden of the agencies involved in helping flood victims,” he said in a statement today. 

The equipment was handed over to Negri Sembilan CDF director Mohd Nazri Meskam, witnessed by Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun. – Bernama, October 20, 2022.
