PASIR MAS: The Women, Family and Community Development Ministry (KPWKM) has allocated RM9.5 million as preparation for the monsoon season this year.
Its deputy minister, Datuk Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff said the allocation was distributed to the Social Welfare Department (JKM) for flood management purposes, such as the provision of food, blankets and other necessities for flood victims.
