Can flood victims register at PPS instead of online methods?

Question

Accepted Answer

Flood victims can register for RM5,000 funeral assistance at temporary relief centres.

Flood victims who have lost a family member in the recent floods can register for RM5,000 in funeral assistance, categorised as Bantuan Urusan Kematian (death management aid), at temporary relief centres (PPS). This initiative aims to simplify the application process for those seeking shelter at PPS, with the Finance Ministry facilitating these registrations.
Registration at Temporary Relief Centres

The Finance Ministry has streamlined the application process for funeral assistance by allowing flood victims to register directly at the temporary relief centres (PPS) where they are taking shelter. This measure is specifically designed to ease the burden on individuals already displaced by the floods and seeking refuge in these centres.
Eligibility Criteria for Assistance

To be eligible for the RM5,000 Bantuan Urusan Kematian, applicants must be Malaysian citizens with a valid identity card (IC) and must have been directly affected by the floods, including the loss of a family member. The application process for this aid mirrors the initial RM1,000 aid for heads of households, requiring the registration of full details.
Alternative Application Channels

For individuals not residing in temporary relief centres, or those preferring alternative methods, applications can also be submitted through the head of their village (ketua kampung) or a local community centre. This provides additional avenues for eligible flood victims to access the much-needed financial support for funeral management.
Procedures for Applicants Without ICs

Recognising that some flood victims may have lost their identity documents, a provision has been made for those without a valid IC. In such cases, a reference letter or confirmation from the head of the village (ketua kampung) or the head of the community (penghulu kampung) will suffice to process the application for the RM5,000 funeral assistance.
