Northeast monsoon season will go on until March

Northeast monsoon season will go on until March

The northeast monsoon season in the country will go on until March next year, with the heaviest rainfall to be in Nov and Dec.

The bad news is that floods will become a high possibility, however the haze will not be gone.

Malaysian Meteorological Department (MMD) deputy director-general Alui Bahari told theSun that based on the department's forecast, most places are expected to receive heavy rainfall.

He added that during the monsoon season, winds will blow from the South China Sea heading here, which will result in no haze in the country.

"The northeast monsoon will cause the wind to blow from the South China Sea, peninsula as well as Sabah and Sarawak. The haze will be present anymore, even if there is no rain," Alui said.

Meanwhile, Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the flood management template used in Kemaman, Terengganu last year will be the benchmark to be implemented nationwide this year.

Speaking to the press after chairing the High-level Committee Meeting on National Flood Disaster and Haze Management in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, he said this was decided following the example exhibited by Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek, who is the Kemaman MP, in managing the situation before, during and after the floods last year.

"The methods used in Kemaman will be the new template for flood management at national, state, district and community levels," he said.

Ahmad Zahid added that parliamentarians in flood-prone constituencies will be called for a briefing soon on flood disaster management.

"This is to ensure there is standardised implementation and management," he said.

11月起雨季‧东海岸人要未雨绸繆

踏入11月份，东海岸即將进入雨季，居住在水灾高风险区的居民受促提高警惕，並做好准备。

彭亨州秘书拿督斯里莫哈末苏菲安说，根据天气预测，从11月份首个星期开始就是进入雨季。

他说，居住在水灾高风险区的居民可以先做好准备工作，包括把个人文件收藏好，以期在水灾发生时，隨时根据指示进行疏散。

他表示，在水灾期间，村长或社区领袖会根据情况向居民发出指示，而这时候居民应该根据指示行事，勿掉以轻心或制造不必要的问题。

水灾前哨站增至101个

“彭亨州政府已经做好水灾准备工作，包括增加21个水灾前哨站，使到今年总数达101个。 ”

莫哈末苏菲安是在受询水灾准备工作进度时，这么表示。

他说，州政府已经於本月7日开始进行粮食安排工作，如今州內7个粮食仓都有了足够的货源，以隨时供应给发生水灾的县属。

根据天气预测，雨季將持续至明年3月份，这期间会面临4次的豪雨，每次介於3至4天，並可能造成水灾。

Haze will not last till March 2016

Haze will not last till March 2016

The haze affecting the country currently will not last till March 2016, as claimed by certain parties.

"The current haze situation is caused by typhoon Champi and Typhoon Koppu, east of the Philippines, and when these typhoons hit landfall, the winds will change and the haze situation will improve after Oct 26," said Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Madius Tangau in a statement today.

Madius said the coming northeast monsoon season from November will see a change in wind direction and will no longer carry over haze from Indonesia to Malaysia, despite the Indonesian forest fires expected to last until March.

Meanwhile, rainfall is expected to decrease nationwide due to typhoon Koppu, thus making the haze situation even worse.

According to the Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) weather outlook, typhoon Koppu is currently 1,187km north-east of Kudat, Sabah. It will eventually head north-west towards Taiwan.

In addition, typhoon Champi located 2,942km north-east of Kudat is slowly heading north.

The presence of both typhoons has affected the wind patterns across the country as a result, especially rainfall due to the moderate south-westerly winds.

Separately, the Department of Environment recorded 3,534 cases of open burning detected nationwide, from the start of the year to Oct 19.

As of 6pm today, a total of 27 areas recorded unhealthy Air Pollutant Index (API) readings, with Port Klang with the highest at 179, followed by Shah Alam at 164, and Kuala Selangor at 139.

Air quality in Peninsular Malaysia remains bad

Air quality in Peninsular Malaysia remains bad

Air quality remained bad today as the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia continued to be blanketed by a heavy shroud of haze, with many coastal cities recording an unhealthy reading on the Air Pollutant Index (API).

According to readings published on the Department of Environment's (DOE) website, six locations including Seremban, Malacca, and Putrajaya were rated as unhealthy (100-200) on the API as at 5pm today.

The Natural Resources and Environment Ministry said in a statement today that the haze is caused by open burning of forests and land in Sumatera, Indonesia according to satellite images captured by the Singaporean based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The agency detected 132 hot spots in Kalimantan, Indonesia, alone, while only one hot spot was detected in Sumatera due to incomplete satellite coverage as of Sunday.

According to satellite coverage, the ministry said, the haze is expected to spread to Pahang and to east Johor in the next 48 hours while in East Malaysia the haze from Kalimantan is expected to spread to west Sarawak and the waters surrounding both Sabah and Sarawak in the same period of time.

The ministry said the country is still experiencing the southwest monsoon phase that is expected to end by mid-September and noted that the haze will likely dissipate by the monsoon transition phase in October.

Meanwhile, the Environment Department will continue monitoring the status and trend of air quality on an hourly basis due to the uncertain haze situation and increased hot spots in Sumatera and Kalimantan.

All government agencies relevant to haze disaster response have also stepped up efforts in preventing open burning locally that will worsen the already unhealthy air quality.

Local governments and land owners have also been instructed to closely monitor and take preventive actions in places that could easily catch fire such as waste disposal spots, forests, farm land, and industrial complexes.

Meanwhile, Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar will also head to Indonesia as soon as possible to meet his counterpart there to discuss solutions and to finalise a memorandum of understanding on cross-border haze prevention.

Berjaya launches ‘sea shelter’ programme to enhance marine life

Berjaya launches ‘sea shelter’ programme to enhance marine life



Vincent Tan (L) and his son Robin enjoying a dive while witnessing the laying of structures off Pulau

Berjaya Corporation (Berjaya Corp) recently took environmental sustainability to a new level by starting a "Shelter in the Sea for Marine Life" coral reef programme.

The RM200,000 project saw the laying of 67 concrete pipes, ranging from one to two metres in diameter, on the seabed between Berjaya Tioman Resort Dive Centre and Renggis Island off Johor.

Berjaya Group founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan, who put on a wetsuit to personally witness the laying of the pipes on the seabed, said the structures will encourage coral growth and also provide protection for marine life.

"We will also plant small corals on the pipes to generate faster growth. I believe it will help enhance Tioman's beauty, protect the fishes and enhance activities for divers here.

"We all like to dive through caves and tunnels, and using these pipes as 'artificial tunnels' could be the closest that one can get to diving through caves," he told reporters here on Saturday.

Tan, who has been diving since 1985, said the results of the project will be gauged over the next few of years.

He said although most environmentalists do not see eye-to-eye on developments at sea, projects like this can be good for the environment if enough efforts were taken.

"Environmentalists are often against development. They should dive more, see and understand for themselves the situation. In fact, a hundred years from now, the water here will still be very nice. I think it is okay if we take efforts to care for this island," he added.

The six-acre project, which is between eight and 11m, is said to provide a suitable habitat for algae and invertebrates, which in turn will create a sustainable ecosystem.

The strategic location of the project site near to the dive centre will also enable experts to monitor coral growth easily and plan further restoration programmes in future.

A survey by Reef Check Malaysia in 2014 found that the condition of coral reefs around Tioman Island is generally in good form, but faces various threats such as warm water bleaching and human factors like illegal fishing and irresponsible tourist behaviour.

Also present during the pipes-laying event were Tan's sons, Berjaya Corp chairman and CEO Datuk Seri Robin Tan and 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Berhad executive director Tan U-Ming.

占用森林保护区 再拆原住民临时住处

占用森林保护区 再拆原住民临时住处

丰盛港警方、县议会、森林局、公共工程局、志愿警卫团等单位100名执法人员，昨日到丰盛港兴楼路15公里处阿隆山森林保护区取缔占用土地的原住民，当地临时住处被夷为平地。

今年6月初，这批原住民同样被指非法占用森林保护区，执法单位已将非法兴建的木屋区拆除；惟较后在热心人士捐赠帐篷等设备下，原住民得以扎起临时住处。

新一轮的拆除临时住所行动，是在本月30日上午10时许开始，当局出动两辆“神手”投入工作，整个行动耗时5小时；被拆的临时住所共有12座，包括塑胶帐篷及亚答叶扎成的木屋。

据了解，拆除行动导致二十多名包括男女老幼原住民无家可归，可能会被迫露宿山区。

执法人员展开拆屋行动时，面对原住民屋主阻挠，但并无发生激烈的反抗，他们经有关官员的劝说，只好眼睁睁看着“家园”被毁；警方在较后，把当地49岁原住民村长阿旺带回警局问话。

据了解，这些原住民来自彭亨州，6年前他们因居住地将被发展，家园因此被拆除，该州政府当时准备协助原住民搬迁至市区居住，但原住民无法适应城市生活，改到柔州丰盛港偏僻的森林建木屋居住，生活了6年。

关注原住民遭遇的民众担忧，这已经是他们第三次遭遇拆屋厄运，今后不知会流落何处。

柔情咖啡香‧中午嘆咖啡吃麵包

柔情咖啡香‧中午嘆咖啡吃麵包 体谅大伙缩短营业时间



老板一杯接一杯，双手不停冲泡咖啡奶茶，只能边工作边接受记者採访。

一百家最具风味传统咖啡茶餐店（2）

这家“Kopitiam”早上不开门，中午才送上浓浓的咖啡鸟，还有温胃的烤麵包！

　半世纪来，丰盛港的茗芳园渐渐蜕变，从亚答屋渐变成钢骨水泥建筑。

　过去从早上6时到晚上11时，茗芳园都为街坊送上茶点，是当地人高谈阔论的好去处。

　可现在，烤麵包、生熟蛋和咖啡，这三样极具南洋风味的经典早餐，如今竟只从中午12时才开门售卖，不禁令食客纳闷！ 

　业者叶必溪（53岁）向《中国报》说，原来长期站久递送茶水食物和点餐，大伙儿的脚痛腿痠，尤其哥哥年纪大了，更无法站太久，所以约两年前便把营业时间改为中午12时至傍晚6时。

兄弟3人一起打理

　必溪是第二代传人，目前他和两位哥哥必湖、必和（原名必河）一起打理咖啡店，3人另有一大哥叫必海。

　由于四兄弟的名字排列起来是海、湖、河、溪，竟也成为地方上的佳话。

　必溪说，70年代时，咖啡店还是自己炒咖啡豆，可是弄得满店烟燻，后来便直接向咖啡商进口咖啡粉。

　茗芳园是地方上老字號，更是具代性的咖啡店，由于店里也售卖马来糕点、椰浆饭等，因此也吸引友族顾客光顾。

　下午茶时段，咖啡里最忙碌，老板冲泡咖啡的手，几乎是没有停过。

　TV2综艺节目《东南亚北三人行》也慕名来拍摄介绍。

金漆招牌
习惯叫Kopi德

到丰盛港，你说茗芳园，当地老一辈居民可能会愣了一下，眼珠子溜了溜，才恍然大悟般替你指路，但你说“Kopi德”（德唸tak），他们就立即懂你问的是哪家咖啡店。

　东主叶必溪说，父亲叶世杰过世得早，咖啡店早期交由亲戚阿德帮忙打理，阿德甚至在店里协助炒咖啡粉，因此，街坊习惯唤茗芳园作“Kopi德”。

　至于“茗芳”招牌从何而来，叶必溪就不晓得，但相信早期的人习惯以“茗芳”为茶室、茶庄和咖啡店命名，因而有此招牌。

吃椰浆饭和米暹要乘早
不吃走宝

保留老咖啡店特色，这里也可看见三大种族同桌的情景，因为店里有售卖巫裔的椰浆饭和米暹，若配搭一杯咖啡乌、茶稀（Teh C）或咖啡冰，都是一大享受。

　记者採访当天，刚巧星期日，而且还適逢斋戒月，但下午3时许，就已剩一包椰浆饭和米暹，隔壁桌见顾客见记者拍照后，也不介意被“开过包”，就直接討了拿去吃，可见小小一包，真的叫人垂涎三尺。

镇店之宝
咖啡配烤麵包

来到茗芳园“Kopitiam”，当然不能错过咖啡和烤麵包。

　店里现在冲泡使用的咖啡粉，可是居鑾著名的电视机品牌，加上老板叶必溪的多年冲泡经验，泡出的咖啡顺滑香浓，一口啜饮，没有苦涩味。

　烤麵包使用传统炭烤，自製咖椰，再夹上薄片牛油，一口咬下，外脆內香，口腔都是浓郁的椰香和牛油香。

忠实顾客
真材实料

炼奶供应商温增麒说，老板捨得用上等生奶（炼奶），所以冲泡出来的奶茶、咖啡特別顺滑，多数的咖啡店为省成本，选用中等级的生奶。

　他说，茗芳园的茶水，半世纪来令人回味无穷，靠的就是真材实料。

　另外，48岁的毛春莲（书记）可说从小就光顾茗芳，如今依旧是常客，下午便到咖啡店与朋友聊天。

　她说，传统炭烤方式，让“Kopi德”的烤麵包特別好吃，来到丰盛港喝下午茶，首选茗芳园。

店名：茗芳园
地址：3, Jalan Jamaluang, 86800 Mersing, Johor.
开业年份：50年代初
营业时间：中午12时至傍晚6时（休息日不定）

耗资800万‧丰盛港佛学会新所开幕

耗资800万‧丰盛港佛学会新所开幕

耗资800万令吉的丰盛港佛学会会所，於日前在释真耀法师主持开启福慧锁及剪彩下，举行了庄严肃穆与隆重的开光大典及新会所落成开幕仪式。

此外，丰盛港椰芭拿督公庙醒狮团也受邀到场迎宾参圣及採青献瑞，为庄严肃穆与隆重的开光大典带来热闹气氛。

大会总务洪茗柇致词时指出，自两年前展开重建会所工程以来，其间陆续获得各位护法大德的扶持和鼎力支持，至今捐献1千令吉者將近450人，而以分期付款认捐者也有50人左右。

他说，由於当时该会只有大约100万令吉，但建筑经费却高达800万令吉，俗人在民眾热心捐款下，目前尚欠承包商建筑费、装修、傢俬、水电工程等费用大约20万令吉，因此在7月15至19日连绩5天举办消灾延寿梁皇宝懺大法会，以筹募剩余款项。

林美蓉：將办系列活动

大会主席林美蓉表示，为了配合马佛青总会主催的国民服役课程计划，让青少年能接触佛法、认识佛教的机会，该会將举办一系列的活动。

她说，前来参与活动的国民服役学员眾多，由於空间有限，启发了理事们重建会所的心愿。

“在今年初学校假期中，本会首次举办儿童学佛生活营，反应令人鼓舞。接下来，將计划开办儿童佛学班，包括有弘法、共修诵戒及诵经等日常活动，家长们应鼓励子女参与上述活动。”

释真耀：鼓励接触佛理

来自东甲洹娑精舍道场的宗教导师释真耀法师致词称，办道场必须拥有宽敞的空间，才能让学佛者解除心中的压力，因此他讚扬丰盛港佛学会理事及热心佛友成功建立这所庄严宽敞的佛堂。

他也对时下青少年沉迷不健康的网络问题表示关注，促请社会人士及家长们鼓励青少年参与健康活动，以平衡心中的压力，进而引导他们接触佛理，改善人生观。

释真耀法师也说，佛教非迷信的宗教，而信佛不但可以改善人们的心態，且能改变人生，通过认识佛法的精神，可以让人產生慈悲平等之心，並鼓励大家应该多修行学佛而且多吃素。

丽港城计划搁置如被遗弃 居民盼重新发展丰盛港

黄世忠：丽港城计划搁置如被遗弃 居民盼重新发展丰盛港



获奖励金及大学毕业生表扬状的同学或代表与颁奖嘉宾分享成果，后排右起为郭丽娇、郑金发、郑松章、黄世忠，左二起张展添及杨木火。

丰盛港中华商会会长拿督黄世忠指出，自从丰盛港丽港城（（MERSING LAGUNA）发展计划被搁置后，丰盛港县就好像一个被遗弃了的地方，至今不见有任何利民发展计划在此推行。

因此，他认为，政府当局应重新考虑推行该区域的旅游业发展，或施展更多策略去吸引外资进来投资，以协助拓展县内的经济。

交通问题难吸引游客

黄世忠昨晚出席该会在乐天园酒家举行的会员联欢宴会致词时如是指出，他表示，当地居民都期盼政府发展丰盛港，尤其是在旅游方面，虽然这里拥有许多天然资源，并在不久前被列为东海岸经济发展计划走廊，但由于缺乏良好的规划，加上交通问题，不但无法吸引游客留宿在内陆消费，一直以来，丰盛港的旅游业都停滞不前。

此外，黄世忠也针对谈论巳久，而且已获相关部门批准的哥打丁宜迪沙鲁直通丰盛港的海边公路及居銮加亨通往丰盛港的联邦大道工程，至今仍未落实深表遗憾，他表示，如果上述公路能够按计划完成，不但可以缩短丰盛港通外的路程，而且必然能够创造出更多商机，当地的经济将有望好转。

提到消费税问题，他说，如果会员商家面对消费税问题，该会将会协助会员向当局了解或解决，不过，他希望会员商家能够遵守法令，不要违例，尤其是在营业账目方面必须清楚。在上述联欢晚宴中也举行会员子女教育奖励金及颁发大学毕业表扬状仪式。

出席者计有会长黄世忠、副主席张展添、总务杨木火、财政郑金发、妇女主任郭丽娇、教育主任郑松章、理事拿督周伟扬、财务顾问徐永健等。

5月15日涨德士长巴车资

SPAD：5月15日涨德士长巴车资

涨！涨！涨，公共交车资调涨！陆路公共交通委员会（SPAD）宣佈德士与长巴车资调涨，长巴车资从目前每公里9.3仙涨至11.4仙，增加2.1仙，新车资从5月15日开始生效。



新德士车资起跳费不变，只是调整车程（distance）以及车时（Time）的收费。（图：星洲日报）

至於德士新车资收费，在巴生河流域以及新山，5公里的德士车程，车资调涨介於1令吉50仙至3令吉50仙，基於檳城德士运作成本更高，涨幅也会比巴生河流域及新山来的高。

陆路公共交通委员会主席丹斯里赛哈密指出，这是德士与长巴在6年来首次调涨车资。

他强调，当局调涨的德士车资主要是针对车程以及车时的收费，德士的起跳费（flagfall）维持不变。

另一方面，SPAD也批准马来亚铁道公司（KTM，经营火车、电动火车）以及国家基建公司（Prasarana）进行检討车资，並会在稍后由有关公司做出宣佈。

SPAD表示，在推行新德士车资，基於所有德士的计程表必须送往重新调整，之后也必须送往电脑验车中心检核批准后才能採用新收费，预料需时1至2个月才能完成所有调整，在德士计程表调整至新车资前，需採用现有车资收费。

另外，SPAD主席赛哈密指出，当局调整德士与长巴的营运成本上涨约33%，考虑到成本上涨、通货膨胀等，当局批准车资调整。至於KTM以及LRT等车资调整，將由有关公司，预料在今年內宣布。

Fares increased for taxi, train and express bus services

Fares increased for taxi, train and express bus services

Be prepared to pay more for your public transport. The increase in taxi fares takes immediate effect while train and express bus charges will be raised on May 1 and May 15 respectively.

Budget taxis in the Klang Valley and Johor Baru will charge 25 sen per 200m and 25 sen per 36 seconds although the flagfall will remain at RM3 for the first kilometre.

This is a sizable increase as each budget taxi will get RM1.25 per km (from RM0.87 per km, up by 44%) and 42.67 sen per minute (from 28 sen per minute, up by 49%).

For example, a budget taxi that is stuck in traffic for an hour will take in RM25 (RM30 for those in Penang) from time-based charges alone, up from RM16.80 previously. This is likely to make taxi drivers more willing to face congestions.

Express buses will charge 2.1 sen more (or 22.5%) per km, setting the new fare at 11.4 sen per km.



Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) chairman Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar said taxi and express bus operators were facing rising costs, adding that the last fare review for both was in 2009.

“We took into account the needs of the operators and the public (in coming up with these new fares),” he told reporters at SPAD headquarters here.

Teksi 1Malaysia (TEKS1M) cabs – consisting exclusively of the brown Proton Exora – are the only taxis to have the flagfall rate raised from RM3 to RM4.

The hike in taxi fares does not cover airport limos and executive taxis (typically blue in colour), and is limited to Peninsular Malaysia.

According to SPAD, taxi fares would be reviewed each year based on operating cost changes.

Although the increase in fares took immediate effect, taxis could only charge the new rates after the meter had been recalibrated.

SPAD chief executive Mohd Nur Ismal Mohd Kamal said it would take one to two months for all taxis to use this new setting.

“There’s a panel of service providers they can go to. We have asked them to increase (operating) capacitym,” he said.

SPAD said that senior citizens, the disabled and children below 12 years old would continue to enjoy the 25% discount on express bus fares.

On train fares, Syed Hamid said SPAD had given its approval to KTM Bhd and Prasarana Malaysia Bhd to set new rates covering LRT, KTM Komuter, KTM Intercity and KL Monorail.

According to SPAD, the Ampang and Kelana Jaya LRT Line fares have not been reviewed for the past 19 and 17 years respectively. Monorail, KTM Komuter and KTM Intercity fares have remained the same for 12, 12 and 25 years respectively.

Mohd Nur said the fares of stage buses would not be increased now or in the near future.

“This is because low-income earners rely on stage buses for transport, and they cannot afford to pay more,” he said.

He added that the Government would cover stage bus costs.

The hot and dry spell in many areas is in the final phase of the monsoon season which is expected to abate by the end of March, said Meteorological Department director-general Datuk Che Gayah Ismail.

“It is now the tail end of the northeast monsoon which causes many areas to receive less rain over an extended period, leading to the hot and dry weather,” she said when attending the 2015 message by Science, Technology and Innovation Minister, here today.

Che Gayah said the current weather condition had not reached the ‘hot wave’ level and was still categorised as normal with 30 per cent rainfall based on the long term average.

Asked if the temperature of the hot and dry weather was different from last year, she said there was not see much difference with the temperature varying over three degrees Celcius.

The temperature in Malaysia is currently between 33 and 35 degrees Celcius.

Che Gayah said the inter-monsoon season would start in April until mid-May, when states in the peninsula would experience wet weather with thunderstorm in the afternoon and evening.

She said heavy rain and thunderstorm were common before the southwest monsoon begins from June to September which is the dry and haze season.

Che Gayah said under its standard operating procedure (SOP), the department would only carry out cloud seeding when haze reached the level hazardous to human health.

“The department is always prepared to conduct cloud seeding with private flight companies to overcome the problem. At times, dam operators will also carry out cloud seeding to raise the level of water. If they seek our help, we will be prepared to assist,” she said.



Meteorological Department director-general Datuk Che Gayah Ismail says the hot weather is expected to cool down by the end of March.

丰盛港县议会3月接管停车收费

丰盛港县议会3月接管停车收费 市民即起无需放置停车固本


丰盛港县议会将在3月1日起全面接管区内的停车措施。

丰盛港县议会预料将于3月1日起全面接管境内停车收费，即日起至2月28日的过渡期间，民众无需放置停车固本。

由于与私营化停车公司的承包合约于去年杪屇满，丰盛港县议会决定收回境内停车管理权，预料今年3月1日起，全面重新接管区内的停车措施。

从即日起至2月28日的这段接管过度期间，驾车人士暂时无需置放停车固本，直到新停车收费制落实，这也意味着驾车人士可享有免费停车的便利。

马华丰盛港县议员党鞭陈煌伟表示，任何驾车人士之前向私营公司Fajar-able购买的停车固本将被作废，在县议会接管后，将会发出新的停车固本。

他说，至于之前拖欠的罚单缴付问题，由于县议会尚未与有关承包商协商，因此目前尚未有任何定案。

他说，由于目前柔州各县市议会重新接管而实行的停车收费日期因地区而异，对于使用停车系统方面，各县目前还未作出决定。日后，丰盛港县的停车固本是否可在州内其他县市使用的问题，有待当局作进一步公布。

此外，该会更在现场向会眾匯报慈济多日以来在东海岸賑灾，援助灾黎之详情。其中2名志工也上台分享远赴彭亨重灾区目睹灾情惨况，並不畏辛苦帮忙灾民清扫家园的感受，眾人也在志工的引领下齐唱诵祈祷歌，虔诚地为灾黎祈福，希望他们早日渡过难关，重建家园。

晚会结束，志工整齐地列队欢送时，不少受感动的民眾慷慨將捐款投入志工捧着的爱心箱，当晚该会共筹到近3千令吉賑济灾民的善款。
