MELAKA: The state government here has given financial assistance of RM600 to 373 trishaw riders affected by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, says Chief Minister Datuk Sulaiman Md Ali.

He said on Wednesday that RM223,800 has been allocated for the one-off payments, and added that the allocation was channelled to the Tourism Trust Fund on March 25 under the stimulus package announced by the Federal Government.

Sulaiman said that 80 riders received their aid on March 27 and added that the rest of the money would be distributed accordingly. During a tourism boom period, the riders could earn significant revenues due to the unique decorations of their trishaws. Tourists are attracted to take a ride on trishaws decked with figures of cartoon characters such as Hello Kitty and Pokemon's Pikachu as well as blinking fairy lights with built-in sound systems.
