PUSA: The Member of Parliament for Batang Lupar, Mohamad Shafizan Kepli, expressed hope that additional assistance, such as the provision of a new home, could be arranged by the government to ease the burden of the victims affected by the recent fire in Kampung Tengah Kalok last Saturday.
He expressed sympathy for the plight of Japar Buang’s family, who lost everything in the incident.
“I am deeply sympathetic towards what has happened and I hope the affected family remains patient in the face of this test from Allah.
“I also hope the government can arrange for further assistance, such as a new house for Japar’s family,” he said.
He made these remarks during a visit to the victims of the fire in Kampung Tengah Kalok yesterday.
During his visit, Shafizan presented a contribution of RM3,000 to the family.
He expressed his gratitude to the agencies that had stepped forward to provide assistance to the victims.
During the visit, the Women’s Wing of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) also contributed food and clothing to the family.
Meanwhile, the Village Development and Security Committee (JKKK) of Kampung Dato Godam, led by village chief Zaidi Jiee, donated RM500. The JKKK of Kampung Hulu Pusa also donated RM500.
Japar’s home was completely destroyed in a fire last Saturday morning.
Earlier, in keeping with Syawal traditions, Shafizan paid visits to relatives in Kampung Pusa.
