Fifteen permanent relief centers (PPK), equipped with basic facilities, are being built nationwide to serve flood victims, said National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) deputy director-general (Post-Disaster) Hussain Moh. According to him, the PPK at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Seri Medan, Johor, was expected to be the first to be completed in early January next year. “At present, we are only building one PPK for each state as a pilot project, but in Terengganu, there are two (projects), namely upgrading the existing temporary relief centers (PPS) and building a new PPK. “The PPK project at SK Banggol Peradong is expected to be completed by July next year, while the PPS at SK Matang has been upgraded and may be used if flooding occurs this monsoon season,” he told reporters after the handover of the Terengganu State Disaster Command Centre (SDCC) here today. The SDCC is part of the Madani government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen disaster preparedness and ensure more efficient and systematic management, involving cooperation from all parties at the state level to protect lives and property. Hussain said that the construction of each PPK involved an average cost of around RM8 million, depending on site conditions and the needs of each state.Read more at: https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2025/12/10/nadma-says-15-permanent-relief-centres-under-construction-nationwide-for-flood-victims/201468
