KUALA LUMPUR: Families of Malaysians missing in the Nepal floods have sought clarification on delayed financial assistance and other benefits during an audience with the Raja Puan Muda of Kedah, Che Puan Muda Zaheeda Mohamad Ariff.
Malaysia Solidarity Families in Hope (MASFIH) coordinator and spokesperson Dr R. Manivannan said the families also sought updates on the disbursement of benefits from the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso).
On Oct 30, MASFIH said Perkeso payments to the next of kin of Malaysians affected by the Nepal-Tibet flood tragedy were expected to be disbursed on Nov 4.
However, Manivannan said only the RM3,000 assistance had reached the 28 affected families so far, while pension payments and other benefits remained outstanding.
