KUCHING: The Sarawakku Sayang Special Aid Package announced by Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg is a good stimulus package because it focuses on the B40 group.
Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri James Jemut Masing said that he was also involved in formulating the aid package.
“It is good and it is correct as it focuses on those who are hardest hit by Covid-19. That is the B40 and below group,” he said.
Masing hoped the country, particularly Sarawak could win the battle against the virus.
“If not, we might not have the strength or the resources to keep going for months,” he said.
On Monday, Abang Johari announced the Sarawakku Sayang Special Aid Package worth more than RM1.15 billion to assist Sarawakians during the Covid-19 crisis.
He listed out 16 measures which were targeted at helping frontline personnel, households, business communities and the B40 group.
