MIRI, Oct 8 ― Sarawak United People’s Party is appealing to Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg to extend the RM10,000 special one-off aid under the Sarawakku Sayang Special Assistance 7.0 package to include micro enterprises.
“Indeed this group has been greatly impacted by the pandemic, resulting in a huge drop in revenue and substantial losses. We fervently hope our chief minister will favourably consider including micro enterprises for the special one-off financial assistance of RM10,000,” he said in a statement yesterday.
The aid is to help pandemic-hit businesses, especially small and medium enterprises , cover their operational costs including rental and wages of their employees, the chief minister said. He said if the aim of BKSS 7.0 is to help active businesses affected by the pandemic, the party feels the special aid should not be exclusively for SMEs but also include micro businesses.
