Ringkasan Produk
The objective of this study is to examine
the issue of leadership in flood disaster
management in Kuantan, Pahang. Data were
collected through interviews with 25 community
heads, 23 village community and 5 military
personnel. The interview data were analysed
and categorized into categories and themes.
The study found that the community do have
major issues with leadership and this lead to
ineffective disaster response and coordination.
One critical factor is the community leaders do
not have the cooperation from the community.
The community reported that the community
heads showed favouritism and cronism
during disaster response. Nevertheless,
the military personnel involved in disaster
response and recovery received some support
and cooperation from the community. The
community would rather prefer the military
personnel to lead the disaster response. This
indicated the community in Kuantan, have
the trust on military leadership and suggested
that during disaster, military should be leading
disaster response and management.
The objective of this study is to examine
disaster response and recovery management by
the Malaysian Armed Forces in Kelantan. Critical
factors affecting response and recovery by
the Malaysian Armed Forces in Kelantan were:
political, command and control, coordination,
logistics, community support, communication
and media, NGOs and Inter-agency cooperation
and collaboration. Data for this study were
collected through interviews and focus group
discussions with 26 infantry personnel from
the strategic to tactical level. Data collected
were transcribed, categorized and grouped into
themes. This study found that during the recent
flood disaster in Kelantan, the Malaysian Armed
Forces were challenged by political divide and
influence in managing disaster response and
recovery. Command, control and coordination
were chaotic; logistics and equipment
were insufficient. Due to political divide,
the community were not cooperating and
providing support to the response personnel.
Other problems include communication and
media, NGOs lack of cooperation and inter-
agency lack of cooperation and collaboration.
Despite, the challenges faced by the Malaysian
Armed Forces and non-recognition as well
as cooperation by the community in disaster
response and recovery in Kelantan, the
personnel were motivated and have high
empathy in providing assistance to disaster
victims and performing their duties.
