00:00The government has decided today that they will cover the cost of housing for those who are displaced.
00:18If we estimate that all 600 of these houses will be rented out while their homes are rented out,
00:26we will give them a period of 6 months with a rent cost of RM2,000 per month.
00:32For that, the government will spend around RM7.2 million to cover the cost of housing for those who are displaced.
00:45As for the rent, we will still offer it, but the money will be distributed.
00:52So, if they are staying in a rented house or a rented house that has been established,
00:58they can use the money or contributions that have been given,
01:04including the rent payment that we will start to pay off in the near future.
01:10Maybe next week, we will pay it off and we will give it to all the heads of housing
01:16so that they can use the money to rent out their homes for the time being.
01:21And after 6 months, some of them may have returned home because the cost of housing is small,
01:27except for those who are forced to total loss because it may take a little longer.
01:34As an example, we have ABNB for 78 units of houses.
01:40For 87 units of houses in Yemen, we can start to cover the cost.
01:45If they are interested, we will give it to them, especially those who are facing a house that is considered a total loss.
01:54For 83 units of houses, especially those who are facing a total loss?
01:58That is a total loss. We will cover the total loss first.
02:01But if there are other people who are interested, we can do that as well.
02:03Because some of the total losses are due to other reasons,
02:05such as being able to stay at a relative's house or choosing to stay at a relative's house, etc.
02:11We will cover it.
02:12So, before this, we want to cover the cost of housing.
02:14Some people complained about how far it is and so on.
02:17So, we decided that it would be better to give the rent money.
02:20If they are interested in staying in a heritage park, they can stay there.
02:23If they are interested in staying at the nearby ABNB, they can stay there.
02:28ABNB will provide 2 months for free.
02:31The rest will be paid by the government through the funds that I mentioned earlier,
02:36which is about 7.2 million rupiah.
02:39So, there are currently 3 initiatives to help the local government,
02:44ABNB, APHS, to help with the rent from the government?
02:48We will be one.
02:50Because the houses that we offer for rent can be rented.
02:55But when we pay the money, we will not give it for free.
02:58We will use the money for the rent.
03:00Because the rent in that area is estimated to be around 1,000 ringgit.
03:05Especially in the houses of the new Puala Sungai Village.
03:08We have seen the estimate.
03:10So, if we put 2,000, I think it is equivalent to the loss.
03:16So, everyone has the same option, either to find their own house or ABNB?
03:20ABNB, a rental house, or the houses that we offer.
03:24So, the total loss will be the government's?
03:28That's the next stage.
03:29We will first evaluate the cost of the renovation or repair of the house.
03:37And I think there is a commitment from the government to fix it.
03:44But we will first estimate the value.
03:46Maybe they will take time, up to 2-3 weeks, to do the evaluation.
03:51Part of it has been seen by the government as well.
03:55Because looking at the cost of wiring that has been destroyed and so on,
03:58it will not be much different from the estimate.
04:01So, can the house still be used or can it be renovated?
04:06We will see.
04:07Because if it is not safe to be renovated, we will have to demolish it.
04:11That's why I asked Dato' Johari Anwar, with the help of relevant agencies,
04:16maybe the government can also help,
04:18we will make an estimation or an evaluation
04:21on the cost of the renovation or repair of the damaged and destroyed houses.
