"Therefore, assistance through the Malaysian armed forces, police and other bodies will continue to be extended in Aceh untila date to be determined later," he said.

Najib said that he had also sought the assistance of the TNI toidentify a suitable site in Aceh for the construction of a Malaysian relief center to accommodate some 10,000 tsunami victimsin the province.

At present, about 900 to 1,000 Australian troops, doctors and engineers are cleaning up debris, running a hospital with New Zealand doctors and repairing roads in the area.
