Saturday, 15 May 2021 03:36 PM MYTOn May 13, Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen accused the state government of not looking into the suffering and hardship of businesses across all sectors and refusing to allocate financial assistance to them.
It said in the package, the assistance rendered included interest-free soft loans for SMEs; a special grant of RM1,500 to hawkers and petty traders through Sarawak Pay; the abolishment of 2 per cent interest rates to zero per cent for three-and-a-half-years under the Micro Credit Scheme; as well as a rental waiver for SMEs in the retail sector operating from premises owned by state government-linked companies.
It added policies made in terms of imposing movement restrictions have taken into account the hardship faced by the people, especially small businesses, private sector workers, the self-employed and those without fixed income, and allowed them to bounce back from the first movement control order last year.
