【古晋30日讯】   众心慈善之家与爱心村行动组熙团队组长黄智祥、彭东贤与他的团队分发白米与鸡蛋至ADUN N13 Batu Kitang区新梯头村。

       ADUN N13 Batu Kitang 区属于YB罗克强所管辖区域。我们经由YB罗克强了解当地情况并获得需要帮助的家庭名单。YB罗克强非常支持我们,并与我们一起分发给受惠家庭。
  
        我们经由 CR.彭吉隆与新梯头小学彭裕庆主席了解当地因此次疫情所受影响的家庭。当地多数家庭因MCO管制令无法工作导致无收入状态以及一些单亲家庭无稳定收入。我们一共分发了45份10公斤米粮与鸡蛋给该地区家庭。我们希望在此次疫情期间,可以暂时缓解他们的伙食。

大家协力搬运米粮上车

处于新梯头村的其中一户人家,没有自来水供应,只有储存雨水使用要是没下雨,怎么办?
大家正在与屋主沟通所面临的问题
住在木屋与瓦砾下,因MCO没了收入,不知如何支撑一个家

低收入户,家里还有心动不便的老人家
工厂都停业,当地人怎么办,一家几口只住在简陋的屋子
简陋的房屋就建在马路旁,可说是家徒四壁,家里还有小孩



退休老人独自在家


工程停工,无法进入家里

走了很远才抵达住户家里

        在此,众心慈善之家与爱心村负责人李欲熙与团员们感謝社会大众与善心人士的慷慨捐赠。众心慈善之家与爱心村目前致力于幫助受到此次疫情波及的人士,給予他們援助和物資等。我們將繼續努力幫助真正有需要的人士。

罗克强:收入虽减少 . 市会续提供优质服务

罗克强:收入虽减少 . 市会续提供优质服务


罗克强:砂政府将调低门牌税,以减轻民众负担。
罗克强:砂政府将调低门牌税,以减轻民众负担。
(古晋讯)巴达旺市议会主席罗克强表示,砂政府将调低门牌税,以减轻民众负担。
他说,这项措施将让住宅、工业及商业的产业单位受惠。过去调低门牌税只限住宅单位受惠,此次政府加大力度,因此,商业及工业单位也受惠。
罗克强接受星洲日报访问时指出,调低门牌税收入,多少会影响市议会收入。
不过,他称,即使市议会收入减少,但仍坚持优质服务,这是议会面对的挑战。
为此,他呼吁民众体谅议会处境,应替议会减轻负担,努力遏制垃圾问题,就是对议会最大的帮助。民众乱丢垃圾,包括这时候乱丢口罩,议会需要处理这些不必要的垃圾问题。

Register with Sarawak Pay for special aid payment, unlicensed hawkers told


Register with Sarawak Pay for special aid payment, unlicensed hawkers told
Apr 25, 2020 @ 16:13


KUCHING, Apr 25: Unlicensed hawkers and petty traders in the Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) are encouraged to register for a Sarawak Pay account online to facilitate the payment of the special financial aid provided by the Sarawak government.

MPP chairman Lo Khere Chiang in a statement said the move is to avoid having close contacts with other people, adding that the closing date for the application for the special financial aid is on May 31.

“The applicants are encouraged to apply online.

“This is for their own safety as well as a precaution to curb the spread of Covid-19.


“However, if the traders have difficulties applying online, they can submit the hard copy of their application forms to the council,” he said in a statement.

Lo added if applicants are unable to register for a Sarawak Pay account due to acceptable reasons, their payment will be made in the form of cash.

He stated that any information regarding the cash payment to successful applicants shall be made known to them soonest.

Lo said that initially, hawkers and petty traders had to pay RM30 per month for a temporary permit in accordance with the Local Authorities Ordinance 1996.

However, he disclosed that the state government had decided to waive the monthly temporary permit fees for the period of six months from April to September 2020.

Lo, who is also Batu Kitang assemblyman, revealed that the permit application for unlicensed hawkers and petty traders can be made online through http://community- service.sarawak.gov.my

He explained that the permit is a pre-requisite for unlicensed hawkers and petty traders to apply for the Sarawakku Sayang Assistance Package 2.0 which will provide a special financial aid of RM1,500 to them who are registered with the local authorities.—DayakDaily

KUCHING: Application forms for the registration of unlicensed hawkers and petty traders are now available for download on the Padawan Municipal Council’s (MPP) website.
MPP chairman Lo Khere Chiang said that the application forms were for those parties who wished to apply for a temporary permit from the council, which is a pre-requisite for them in applying for the Sarawakku Sayang Assistance Package 2.0 announced by the Sarawak government recently.
He added that unlicensed hawkers and traders could also refer to the criteria or conditions to check if they qualified for this aid as well as how to apply for this aid.
“This assistance will provide a special financial aid of RM1,500 to the hawkers and petty traders who are registered with the Local Authorities,” he said in a statement.
For any enquiries, the public can contact MPP’s Licensing Section at 082-615566 ext. 135/282/130 during office hours.
Lo said for those licensed hawkers and petty traders with MPP, they only have to register with Sarawak Pay and the special aid would be remitted to them at a later date.
The Batu Kitang assemblyman lauded the special grant of RM1,500 to hawkers and petty traders under the state government’s Sarawakku Sayang Assistance Package 2.0, as it would go a long way in lessening their burden during the Movement Control Order (MCO).
He described such assistance as timely to help small scale traders tide over difficult times.
He said that this is indeed a very noble gesture on the part of our Sarawak Government in assisting our hawkers and petty traders during these trying times.
“The amount may not be much but it is certainly a lifeline for small scale traders who could not operate as usual due to the MCO.
“These traders have complied with the MCO by not carrying out their trading in order to curb the spread of Covid-19. Together, we fight Covid-19, he said.

Lo: Council to continue ensuring public’s compliance with MCO, safety measures against Covid-19 

APRIL 11, 2020, SATURDAY 

KUCHING: Batu Kitang assemblyman Lo Khere Chiang and Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman said that the council will continue to play its role in ensuring that the public comply with the Movement Control Order (MCO).
He lauded the state government’s move in adhering to the extension of the MCO to Apr 28, as was announced yesterday by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
“The extension will ensure that the nation’s efforts in overcoming Covid-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) will not go in vain and that the Covid-19 situation in the country can be brought under control,” he said in a statement today.
Lo added that the council alongside the state Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) would continue carrying out sanitising works at public places and those considered red zone areas within MPP’s jurisdiction.
“MPP shall continue to play our role in providing essential municipal services and ensuring that our markets and businesses selling essential goods comply with the guidelines to curb the spread of Covid-19.
“Daily surveillance will continue to be carried out by the Council’s Enforcement and Public Health Officers to ensure compliance to aspects such as adherence to social distancing guidelines, essential businesses operation hours, maintaining cleanliness of trading premises and the town and ensuring that there is no illegal hawking,” he added.
Aside from that, he announced that the council would be carrying out body temperature screening and provision of hand sanitisers for customers at major wet markets, namely Kota Sentosa Market, 3rd Mile Market and Kota Padawan Market.
At the same time, he said the council would continue to impose entry restrictions on the number of people entering the market at a time to ensure the shoppers can keep a safe distance from each other when when shopping for groceries.
“To the residents in MPP areas, let us be mindful of the sacrifices that our frontline officers like doctors, nurses, policemen, soldiers, Bomba and the council’s officers have made for us.
“Let us all help by staying at home to prevent the spread of this virus, contain it and break the chain as soon as we can. Together, we fight Covid-19.”
