INTRODUCTION ZAINAL AO Director Of Pahang State Health Department The 2014-2015 floods had affected Malaysia from 15 th December 2014 to 3 rd January 2015. More than 200,000 people were affected while 21 were killed. These floods have been described as the worst floods in decades. By 23 December, most rivers in Kelantan, Pahang, Perak and Terengganu had reached dangerous levels. Due to the flood, about 60,000 people were evacuated on the following day. The state of Kelantan had the most evacuees, followed by Terengganu, Pahang (10,825), Sabah and Perlis.¹ The Malaysian National Security Council or MKN (in Malay: Majlis Keselamatan Negara Malaysia) has defined disaster as ‘an incident that occurs unexpectedly, complex in nature, resulting in the loss of lives and damages to properties and the environment as well as interfering in the daily activities of the local community’. As of 12 pm, 29 December 2014, MKN reported 101, 702 people from Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Johor and Perak have been placed at flood relief centres. MKN and many other states, local and NGO’S relief agencies had done their best during and after the flood to aid hundreds of thousands of people in the affected states who were forced to evacuate their homes. One of the hardest- hit district in Pahang was Temerloh, which was almost completely flooded. Pahang is the third largest state in Malaysia, after Sarawak and Sabah, and the largest in Peninsular Malaysia. The state occupies the huge Pahang River basin. It is bordered to the north by Kelantan, to the west by Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, to the south by Johor and to the east by Terengganu and the South China Sea. Its capital is Kuantan, and the royal seat at Pekan. Other important towns include Jerantut, Kuala Lipis, Temerloh, and the hill resorts of Genting Highlands, Cameron Highlands, Bukit Tinggi and Fraser Hill. Health and Medical Care Services in Pahang are provided through eleven hospitals, 348 primary care clinics and 42 dental clinics. In addition, to static facilities, Pahang Health Department also has mobile clinics to serve people in less accessible areas and for the indigenous people settlements.² As with any disaster, the challenge for all government agencies including health and medical services are enormous. Relief agencies and workers have to provide survivors with food, water, shelter, health and medical services. In addition, agencies must also help survivors and their own services return to some sense of normalcy as soon as possible. Displacement is an important issue that give impacts to the physical and mental health of refugees. 2
