 2 Oct 2025:

Twelve Clubs from District 308B2 joint hands with Angkatan Pertahanan Awam Malaysia (APM) Perak to proactively provide Disaster Relief Aids. They contributed 200 cartons of Drinking Water, 1,000 sets of Hygiene Kits and 1,000 units/tin/packets read-to-eat dry food. The gimmick handover ceremony was conducted by District 308B2 Governor Lion Tan Say Cheong on behalf of the clubs. Receiving the items on behalf of APM Perak was YS Kol. (PA) Tuan Rohaizat Bin Hadli, Director of APM Perak.

This is a new milestone for these Lions Clubs as it was the first time such collaboration is done between an NGO and APM in a proactive manner preparing for eventual Monsoon Season starting from 30 Sept 2025. This approach was used to ensure that required items for disaster relief can be channeled fast, targeted, more systematic and reduce wastage and surplus or even deficit.

The Joint Disaster Relief project involving twelve Lions Clubs was initiated by Lions Club of Perak Silver State. Organizing Chairman. Lt Muda (PA) Lion Chow Kin Yew did a great job by making all te necessary arrangement to make this project a success.

This project is special compared to previous disaster relief projects where a pro-active approach was used. According to Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran as presented bt Kol. (PA) Rohaizat when gracing this ceremony, 280 flood hotspots have been projected this year throughout Perak involving many government agencies, frontliners and volunteers. Some of the flood prone areas include Krian, Hilir Perak and Muallim Districts.
