Padang besar: The Appointed Military Commander (AMC) of the 30th Brigade implemented a humanitarian aid initiative by establishing two River Water Supply Points (Fresh Water Points) in Kampung Wang Kelian near Padang Besar.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the Headquarters of the 30th Malaysian Infantry Brigade, in a Facebook post tonight, stated that the aid was provided to alleviate the burden on the local community affected by the recent floods that hit Perlis. The initiative aims to address the hygiene needs of local residents by providing fresh water for bathing and cleansing purposes, distinguishing it from the clean water supply provided by Syarikat Air Perlis (SAP) at the Temporary Evacuation Centre (PPS) Masjid Al-Husna Wang Kelian.

Each water tank used to fill the fresh water point has a capacity of 2,000 liters. The brigade headquarters noted that the effort is part of ongoing measures by the AMC of the 30th Malaysian Infantry Brigade and its teams to support the affected community, especially during the post-flood phase.

Perlis was first affected by floods on Nov 23. As of 8 pm tonight, the number of flood victims in the state decreased to 551 people from 696 victims earlier in the afternoon. Data from the Perlis State Disaster Management Secretariat indicates that the remaining flood victims are being accommodated at four PPS in the areas of Padang Besar, Kangar, and Arau.
