KUCHING, April 13: Tomorrow will be the last day for victims of the Sibu freak storm on April 5 to submit their assistance application to the Welfare Department at the Sibu Islamic Complex.
Pelawan assemblyman Michael Tiang said this during a Facebook livestream earlier, urging those affected by the storm to quickly visit the Welfare Department within these two days.
He said only home owners or their next of kin are eligible to submit the applications for the assistance, which will be in the form of either food assistance or financial aid for building materials.
“To apply, please bring along your IC (identification cards) and the IC of the house owner, if you’re a representative. Second, you’ll need a police report.
“Third, you need to have photos or videos of the damages suffered by your houses during the thunderstorm,” said Tiang.
He urged the victims to immediately visit the Welfare Department before the deadline, even without conpleted supporting documents.
Tiang also encouraged those involved to visit the District Office, which is on the fourth floor of the Sibu Islamic Complex, to apply for additional assistance from the federal government.
“You can submit two applications in one location—one (application office) is on the third floor, another is on the fourth. So, please come as soon as possible before the deadline tomorrow,” he added. — DayakDaily
