Members of Sarawak cabinet including myself have wholeheartedly supported the move for us to contribute towards the State Disaster Fund can be best described as a reflection of our caring state government and its local leaders.
Hopefully, the two months’ salary deduction and contribution to the State Disaster Fund can help address in a small way the difficulties that the public are facing now. Such initiative is also a testimony that our GPS Sarawak government is very concerned in taking care of the welfare of the people of Sarawak in many ways.
Thus, we fully support our Right Honourable Chief Minister’s recent announcement on the two months’ worth of salary from Sarawak Cabinet ministers and allowances from GPS’ state assembly representatives as well as political secretaries that would be contributed to the State Disaster Fund.
Apart from that, Sarawak civil servants, excluding frontliners directly involved in the control of the Covid-19 pandemic, will also contribute a certain amount of their fixed entertainment allowance (ITK) in July and August to the fund.
It is our commitment in helping our local folks and part of the continuous effort to ensure that every community members affected by the Covid-19 pandemic will be assisted through such contribution. We are still fighting the battle against Covid-19 situation together and all affected communities must also continue to adhere to the standard operating procedure (SOP) set by our government in order to break the Covid-19 chain so that everyone remain safe.
