摘要
马来西亚第二财政部长阿米尔韩沙表示，政府继续强化Sumbangan Asas Rahmah（SARA）计划，允许更多本地企业产品根据消费者需求进入市场。此举不仅惠及受助者，也为本地企业家和零售商创造收入。目前砂拉越已有超过1450家商店参与该计划。政府根据受助者需求水平提供针对性援助，金额取决于家庭受扶养人数等因素。
KUCHING, June 24 — The government continues to strengthen the implementation of the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) programme by opening up opportunities for more products from local entrepreneurs to be marketed based on consumer needs and preferences in a given area.
Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan stated that this approach not only benefits aid recipients but also helps local entrepreneurs and retailers generate income.
“In Kuching, there are local products that are popular among the local community. We want products like these to also be available in stores participating in SARA so that entrepreneurs get a return, retailers benefit, and aid recipients enjoy a wider variety of choices,” he said.
Speaking to reporters after conducting a site visit on the implementation of SARA at a retail shop here today, he said there are more than 1,450 premises in Sarawak have joined the SARA program.
Meanwhile, he said the government’s approach is to provide targeted aid based on the recipients’ level of need, with the assistance amount determined by several criteria, including the number of dependents in a household.
“If an individual is single, the amount of aid received is different. However, when they have children and more dependents, the assistance increases because their needs also grow,” he added. — Bernama
