Air Itam assemblymember Joseph Ng made a swift move to arrange a PPR unit in Sungai Pinang for the victims of the recent fire at Kampung Melayu Makam Che Omar.
The household of 8 lost their home after a fire broke out in the late evening of July 18.
No injuries were reported, the victims are safe and have been provided a temporary shelter at Dewan Rukun Tetangga Kampung Melayu.
A special allocation from the Penang Governor was also handed over to the family on July 19.
“A total of RM3,000 was allocated by the Penang Governor for the family and today we have handed over RM1,000 to them which was received by Rosni Mohamed Pakiry.
“The balance (RM2,000) we will bank in for them.
“Apart from that, we have also arranged for a PPR unit in Sungai Pinang for the family to stay in.
“After the family has submitted the relevant documents with regards to the Sungai Pinang PPR units, they can moved in there,” said Ng during a press conference held at Dewan Rukun Tetangga Kampung Melayu.
Jabatan Kebajikan Malaysia Negeri Pulau Pinang also contributed RM500 together with some basic necessities to the family.
