KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 — All families of the 54 Malaysian victims of the Nepal-Tibet flood tragedy on August 26 will receive a one-off payment of RM10,000 through the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma).

Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan said the matter was decided by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim after detailed discussions at today’s Cabinet meeting.

“We discussed it at length in the Cabinet, and the Prime Minister decided that a one-off payment of RM10,000 will be given to each victim’s family, but they must follow the list set out under Nadma.

“This means there is an order of priority. For example, the priority is the wife or husband, the second is the parents, and the third is the children.
