GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government is calling for generous contributions of essential goods to help states stricken by floods.
State Welfare, Caring Society and Environment committee chairman Phee Boon Poh called on the public to donate, especially to the flood relief centres in Perak.
"As of now, we urgently need bottled water, milk powder and sanitary pads for the 50-odd relief centres in Perak.
"We have also packed some 10,000 pieces of recycled clothing to be distributed to those displaced," he said when contacted today.
Phee added that Penang was keen to help the east-coast states but was advised to only do so when the floods there have subsided.
"This morning, we have contacted the flood relief centres in the east coast, they advised us to avoid going there as all roads are closed.
"So we have decided that, the closest we can go is Perak," he said.
Those interested to contribute can head to the Caring Society Complex (Kompleks Penyayang) at Jalan Utama in George Town or call the Penang Welfare Department at 04-6505259.
Alternatively, the public can also channel their donations to the respective district Welfare Department offices at:-
Balik Pulau - Kompleks Pasar Awam MPPP.
Kepala Batas - Wisma Persekutuan, Jalan Bertam, Kepala Batas.
Bukit Mertajam - 2nd floor, Wisma Hock Teik, No. 1778, Jalan Ciku.
Jawi - First floor, Block B, Kompleks Jabatan Kerajaan, Sungai Jawi.
