He explained that the government has a process in place to assess the affected areas so that appropriate allocations can be made.
"First and foremost, our focus is on recovery, including addressing damage to infrastructure, amenities, and buildings, as well as the needs of the affected communities," he told the media after the launch of the Putrajaya Urban Observatory (PUO) today.
Fadillah's comments came in response to the opposition's call for an immediate RM1 million allocation to opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) whose constituencies were impacted by the floods, to assist their affected constituents.
"We will have a process to look at (the situation in affected areas). Please wait until the floods subside, then (the allocation) will be determined," he said.
Yesterday, Arau MP Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim reportedly said that his party had submitted an application, including through SMS, regarding the matter.
The PUO launch is in conjunction with the Digital Putrajaya Exhibition and Conference (DiPEC2024) taking place today and tomorrow (Dec 5).
