- 2 years ago
The government has allocated RM15 billion for its flood mitigation plan up to 2030 under Budget 2023.
“This is our long-term strategy to adapt to climate change nationwide,” said Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz while tabling the budget in Parliament today.
For 2023, the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) will receive RM174 million as a “proactive preparatory measure”.
On top of that, he said the Finance Ministry (MOF) will channel an additional RM400 million to Nadma so that they can prepare to spring into action if floods were to occur at the end of this year.
