KUALA LUMPUR - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today proposed for members of the Malaysian Special Search And Rescue Force (SMART) involved in the search and rescue (SAR) mission for earthquake victims in Turkiye and Syria to be given a special allowance.

Along with that, he suggested they also be given certificates of appreciation and special service medals for their sacrifices and commitment.

"I will discuss with the Treasury (regarding the allowance rate) according to their period of service," he said at the Dewan Rakyat sitting today.

Last Monday, Anwar left for Turkeiye to express moral support to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the people of the republic who were hit by an earthquake early last week which had claimed tens of thousands of lives.

The Prime Minister added that he has given approval for the SMART team, which is supposed to be in Turkiye for two weeks, to extend their stay there at Erdogan's request.- BERNAMA
