TMJ wants temporary accommodations for JB homeless to curb virus spread

 

Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has ordered the setting up of temporary accommodation for the homeless in Johor Bharu to curb the spread of Covid-19 among the group.

Tunku Ismail said via a Facebook post yesterday that homeless people are among the most vulnerable groups and are exposed to Covid-19 as they are forced to live on the streets.

He said the risk of infection could be reduced if the homeless are housed in temporary accommodations, adding that this would also facilitate the vaccination process for the group.

Tunku Ismail said full support could also be provided so that they could return to their normal life.

“They are also human beings and have the right to live a dignified life,” he said.

Apart from that, Tunku Ismail said that the construction of a transit centre should be expedited so that the homeless could have a more comfortable place to live and receive assistance in terms of food and health.

The Malaysian Red Crescent Society recently applied to the Johor state government to allow it to vaccinate the city’s homeless as part of efforts to contain the spread of Covid-19 involving the group.
