Helping hands soon emerged, such as former Bentong MPs Tan Sri Liow Tiong Lai of MCA, who led the fire victims’ rebuilding household committee, with Tan Sri Lim Ah Lek as the adviser. Victims were relocated – some to rented homes, others staying with relatives and friends – while redevelopment and rebuilding works were carried out. The Sultan expressed gratitude to the state government and agencies involved as well as former Bentong MPs – Lim and Liow. FBG Holdings deputy chairman Tan Sri Kuan Peng Soon and group executive director Datuk Kong Kam Loong were present yesterday as well. Tuanku has given us the biggest support,” said Chan.
