Who is eligible for the Wild Animal Attack Aid Fund?

Question

Accepted Answer

Victims of crocodile or wild animal attacks are eligible for the Wild Animal Attack Aid Fund.

Victims of crocodile or other wild animal attacks are eligible to receive assistance from the Social Welfare Department (JKM) through a dedicated fund. This aid is available to the families of victims, irrespective of whether the victim's remains are recovered or if they were consumed by the animal.
Assistance Provided by JKM

The Social Welfare Department (JKM) has established the Wild Animal Attack Aid Fund specifically to support individuals and families affected by wild animal encounters. This fund ensures that financial assistance can be provided promptly to those in need.
Eligibility Regardless of Victim Recovery

Crucially, the eligibility for aid is not contingent upon the victim being found. JKM's policy is to provide support to the victim's family even in cases where the victim is not recovered or has been devoured by the wild animal.
Context of the Aid Fund

The provision of this aid was highlighted by Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri. Her remarks were made in the context of inspecting a search and rescue operation for an elderly woman suspected of being attacked by a crocodile.
