Press Statement by Chief Minister of Penang Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 8.11.17.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak, during his visit to Penang yesterday, did not announce any new allocation for flood mitigation projects in Penang but that he will seriously consider the RM1 billion of flood mitgation projects still not released under the previous 5 year Malaysia Development Plans. The RM150 million mentioned by the Prime Minister was a previously approved announcement made last year on November 8 2016 by Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.<\/p>\n
The Penang state government thanks the Prime Minister for his visit and his willingness to seriously consider disbursing RM1 billion already approved under the previous Malaysia 5-year plans. The Penang State Government\u2019s focus at the moment is to continue with the relief and rescue work to ensure that the situation can normalize quickly so that residents can return to their homes to clean up and repair their damaged properties.<\/p>\n
Penang is unfortunate indeed to be hit by a triple whammy of the spillover effects from not just the Damrey Typhoon that hit Vietnam on the 4th of November; unexpected fierce 40 miles per hour winds never seen before in Malaysia until the Penang ferry could be lifted up and pushed up on the concrete jetty; as well as the heavy rain and floods in Kedah. The heavy rains and floods in Kedah have caused record volume of water to gush down our rivers, overflowing the river banks, here on the way to the sea. This has the unfortunate effect of flooding parts of Seberang Perai Utara and Seberang Perai Tengah Districts near the river banks up to 3 feet, even though there is not a single drop of rain.<\/p>\n
The situation has normalized in Penang with flood centers closed and evacuees returning home, except for the two districts mentioned affected by flood waters from Kedah, even though there is no rain. The number of evacuees caused by flood waters gushing in from Kedah is worse and even more than victims of the huge storm and rain on 4-5 November 2017, with 1284 families and 5,102 people still seeking shelter at flood relief centres. 821 families with 3,381 people are sheltering at Seberang Perai Utara District and 463 families with 1721 people at Seberang Perai Tengah District.<\/p>\n
The state government has instructed Jabatan Perairan & Saliran(JPS), Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang(PBAPP) and other agencies to try to pump out the water back into the river when the river level has receded, to try to speed up the reduction of flood waters. We hope that this will allow the residents to go back earlier, and the Penang State Government can only urge patience and understanding in this very trying times.<\/p>\n
The Penang state government is also gravely concerned by landslides caused by the fierce storms and rains on the island, especially on the hills around Penang Hill. We will take urgent steps to address this situation and hope that the public will respond to the authorities call for evacuation if and when the need arises.<\/p>\n
We thank political parties, NGOs such as Tzu Zhi and members of public who have generously donated not only money but also their time and manpower to these victims including helping to clean up their damaged properties. We also thank Penang REHDA, Penang Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers(FMM), the Selangor state government, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, Federal government ministries and agencies who have provided both manpower and heavy equipment such as lorries, back hoes, ro-ro. <\/p>\n
We are grateful to the Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Ibrahim, decreeing that the Football club Johor Darul Ta\u2019zim FC (JDT), will donate its prize money from the recent Malaysia Cup victory to the flood victims in ravaged Penang. This was announced by JDT club president Princess Tunku Tun Aminah Ibrahim.The Penang State Government together with our MPs and ADUNS, will focus on rescue and relief works in cooperation with other agencies before outlining our next step \u2013 rebuilding Penang from this natural disaster. <\/p>\n

Kenyataan Media oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng pada 8.11.2017 di Komtar, George Town Perdana Menteri Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak, semasa lawatannya ke Pulau Pinang semalam, tidak membuat pengumuman tentang sebarang peruntukan baru untuk projek tebatan banjir di Pulau Pinang tetapi beliau akan mempertimbangkan secara serius projek tebatan banjir yang bernilai RM1 bilion yang masih belum diberikan di bawah Pelan Pembangunan Malaysia 5 tahun sebelum ini. RM150 juta yang disebut oleh Perdana Menteri adalah pengumuman yang telah dibuat sebelum ini pada 8 November 2016 oleh Menteri Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tunku Jaafar.<\/p>\n Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Perdana Menteri atas lawatannya dan kesanggupannya untuk mempertimbangkan secara serius untuk mengeluarkan RM1 bilion sepertimana yang telah diluluskan di bawah pelan Malaysia 5 tahun sebelum ini. Tumpuan Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang pada masa ini adalah untuk meneruskan kerja-kerja bantuan dan menyelamat bagi memastikan keadaan normal dapat dikembalikan secepat mungkin supaya penduduk dapat kembali ke rumah mereka untuk membersih dan membaiki harta benda yang rosak.<\/p>\n Pulau Pinang tidak bernasib baik apabila terkena 3 kesan limpahan bukan sahaja daripada Taufan Damrey yang melanda Vietnam pada 4 November, angin kencang yang tidak dijangka selaju 40 kilometer per jam (kmj) yang tidak pernah dilihat sebelum ini di Malaysia sehingga feri Pulau Pinang boleh diangkat dan ditolak ke atas jeti konkrit; serta hujan lebat dan banjir di Kedah. Hujan lebat dan banjir di Kedah telah menyebabkan jumlah air yang banyak dicatatkan mengalir ke sungai kita, melimpah ke tebing sungai di sini sebelum mengalir ke laut. Ini telah memberikan kesan banjir buruk di daerah Seberang Perai Utara dan Seberang Perai Tengah yang berhampiran dengan tebing sungai meskipun tidak ada setitik hujan pun.<\/p>\n Situasi ini dapat dipulihkan di Pulau Pinang dengan pusat penempatan banjir ditutup dan mangsa-mangsa banjir telah kembali ke rumah masing-masing, kecuali dua daerah yang telah disebut terjejas akibat air banjir di Kedah, walaupun tiada sebarang hujan. Jumlah mangsa banjir yang disebabkan oleh banjir yang melanda Kedah adalah lebih teruk dan lebih ramai daripada mangsa yang terlibat dengan ribut besar dan hujan pada 4-5 November 2017, dengan 1, 284 keluarga dan 5,102 orang masih berlindung di Pusat Pemindahan Banjir. Seramai 821 keluarga dengan 3,381 orang sedang berlindung di daerah Seberang Perai Utara dan 463 keluarga dengan 1,721 orang di daerah Seberang Perai Tengah.<\/p>\n Kerajaan Negeri telah mengarahkan Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS), Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang (PBAPP) dan agensi-agensi lain untuk cuba mengepam air kembali ke sungai apabila paras sungai air telah menurun, cuba untuk mencepatkan pengurangan air banjir. Kami berharap ini akan membolehkan penduduk untuk kembali ke kediaman mereka dan Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang hanya boleh menggesa kesabaran dan kefahaman pada masa yang sangat mencabar ini.<\/p>\n Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang memandang serius terhadap tanah runtuh yang disebabkan oleh ribut dan hujan lebat di bahagian Pulau, terutama di kawasan bukit-bukit berhampiran Bukit Bendera. Kita akan mengambil tindakan segara untuk menangani situasi ini dan berharap orang ramai akan bertindak ke atas panggilan pihak berkuasa untuk berpindah jika dan apabila keadaan memerlukan.<\/p>\n Kami mengucapkan terika kasih kepada parti-parti politik, NGO seperti Tzu Zhi dan orang awam yang bermurah hati menderma bukan sahaja dari segi wang ringgit tetapi masa dan tenaga untuk membantu mangsa-mangsa terjejas termasuk membantu membersihkan harta benda yang rosak. Kami juga ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada REHDA Pulau Pinang, Persekutuan Pengilang Malaysia (FMM) Pulau Pinang, Kerajaan negeri Selangor, Menteri Besar Selangor Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, pihak kementerian dan agensi Kerajaan Persekutuan yang telah menyumbang tenaga dan jentera berat seperti lori, jengkaut dan lori ro-ro.<\/p>\n Kami juga berterima kasih kepada Putera Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Ibrahim yang telah menitahkan Kelab Bola Sepak Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT), yang akan menderma hadiah wang daripada kemenangan Piala Malaysia baru-baru ini kepada mangsa-mangsa banjir di Pulau Pinang. Ini telah diumumkan oleh Presiden Kelab JDT Tunku Tun Aminah Ibrahim. Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang bersama dengan Ahli Parlimen dan Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) akan memberi tumpuan untuk menyelamat dan memberi bantuan bersama-sama dengan agensi-agensi lain sebelum menggariskan langkah seterusnya \u2013 membangun semula Pulau Pinang daripada bencana alam ini.<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n —-Mandarin Version–<\/p>\n
