SUBANG, Jan 6 — A total of 312 flights made possible with Malaysian Armed Forces assets under ‘Ops Murni’ have helped transport 748.6 tonnes of relief supplies for distribution to victims in flood-affected states.

Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein said the Flood Relief Supplies Collection Centre at the Subang Air Base had received about 3,256 tonnes of relief supplies from various parties.

“Of the total, 2,999 tonnes had been distributed by road while the rest have yet to be distributed, as of yesterday,” he said.

He was speaking to reporters after witnessing the handing over of flood relief contributions from the Malaysian Armed Forces Family Welfare Association (Bakat) by his wife, Datin Seri Tengku Marsilla Tengku Abdullah to Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Rohani Abdul Karim.

Hishammuddin said, apart from delivery of neccessities to flood victims, post-flood process must also be focused upon, adding that various authorities were in the midst of cleaning up badly-affected areas. — Bernama
