IPOH, 19 April 2021- The Perak State Government will fully bear the cost of repairing 127 houses in Kampung Tasek that were damaged due to heavy rains and strong winds last Wednesday.

“The district office has informed that the repair cost is between RM150,000 to RM200,000 and the state government has agreed to fully fund the repair cost even though the house is a rented house.

He said this after presenting the Disaster Relief Fund donations to the victims affected by the storm in Kampung Tasek here.

After presenting the donation to the recipients, Dato' Saarani took the opportunity to conduct a survey to see the condition of the houses affected by the storm.

Also present were State Secretary Dato' Ahmad Suaidi Abdul Rahim, Ipoh Mayor Dato’ Rumaizi Baharin, Ipoh Barat Member of Parliament M. Kulasegaran and Kinta District Officer Meor Hezbullah Meor Abdul Malik.
