Sejumlah RM177,903,500 disalurkan kepada 355,807 orang isi rumah di bawah program Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) di seluruh negeri Sabah.
Ketua Menteri Sabah, Datuk Seri Musa Aman berkata jumlah yang diluluskan daripada 413,287 permohonan itu merupakan 9.51 peratus jumlah keseluruhan penerima BR1M bagi seluruh negara.
"Kesemua baucer tunai RM500 untuk seramai 355,807 penerima BR1M tersebut telah diserahkan kepada Pejabat Daerah dan sehingga setakat ini hampir 90 peratus menerima baucer tunai mereka, dan proses ini masih diteruskan sehingga kesemua penama menerima baucer tunai masing-masing," katanya ketika menjawab soalan Dr Joachim Gunsalam (BN-Kundasang) pada persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri di Kota Kinabalu, kelmarin.
Gunsalam bertanya mengenai keberkesanan program BR1M dapat memberi manfaat kepada rakyat yang layak menerima bantuan tersebut.
Musa berkata kerajaan bersikap fleksibel dalam soal pembayaran bantuan itu dengan melanjutkan lagi tempoh pembayaran agar semua isi rumah yang layak terutama yang tinggal di kawasan pedalaman tidak tercicir mendapat manfaat program itu.
Beliau berkata kerajaan juga akan mengadakan post-mortem tentang proses perjalanan bayaran sebagai sebahagian langkah-langkah proaktif menambah baik mekanisme penyaluran bantuan seumpama itu, sekiranya program yang sama diteruskan pada masa depan.
"Kita memang sedar bahawa apapun perkara yang kita lakukan tentu ada kekurangan.
"Justeru permasalahan yang timbul akibat masalah-masalah teknikal seperti kesilapan maklumat, penandaann butir-butir peribadi yang mungkin menjadi punca kepada tercicirnya beberapa golongan termasuk warga emas dan ibu tunggal akan diambil perhatian sewajarnya," katanya.
Dalam pada itu, Musa yang juga Menteri Kewangan berkata secara keseluruhan matlamat utama program BR1M mencapai sasarannya berikutan penerima bantuan menzahirkan rasa puas hati terhadap kerajaan khususnya kepada Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. (BERNAMA)

ReplyDeleteThe multi racial people of Sabah who belong to different faiths have always enjoyed fair treatment from the BN government
ReplyDeleteGovt understands the needs of the people and is always ready to listen to them. All the promises made by the BN will be honoured in the best interest of the people

ReplyDeleteChief Minister, Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman said the Barisan Nasional (BN) government would continue to make it a priority to fulfill its promises to the people and attend to their problems.
ReplyDelete“The leaders of the country are confident in meeting the people face-to-face because they can fulfill the promises made to the rakyat. In this way, the people can air their problems directly so that the leaders can solve them immediately,” he said.
DeleteMusa said it was different from the opposition leaders who often made empty promises because they could not honour them. He said they were more interested in getting the power to rule and not in defending the interests of the people as shown by what has happened in states controlled by the opposition.
DeleteMeanwhile, Musa who is also the Sabah Umno chief, reminded party members in the state not to be excessively concerned by the choice of candidates in the upcoming general election.
DeleteHe said they should focus all their efforts in updating the BN party machinery in order to ensure the people returned the mandate to the ruling government.
DeleteFurthermore, he said if they were caught up with the issue of candidates, they would not be able to focus on serving the people.
Delete“The choice of candidates in BN is determined by the leadership so let us all wait. What is important is for us to work harder to make sure the party remains strong and our party machinery is regularly updated.
Delete“I believe the BN candidates who will be chosen are winnable candidates. So don’t think of personal interests but think of the party and serving the people,” he said.
DeleteHe reminded members to always stay united especially at the grassroots level and to avoid trivial issues that can destroy the party’s strength.
“If there are problems, we should solve them amicably bearing in mind that we must not destroy party unity by exaggerating small issues.
DeleteMusa also stressed that Umno will be BN’s backbone and to work hard to assure the ruling government stayed in power in Sabah.
DeleteHe said Umno and the component parties of BN will prove that BN is the best choice for the people through its continuous development programmes. Musa expressed his confidence that Sabah will continue to grow especially in the rural areas due to the commitment of the government led by Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. He said the BN government ensured development for all irrespective of their faith and political ideologies.
Delete“That is the BN concept of serving the people. The elected representatives of BN will always work hard to serve the people because they know they have been voted by the people and so it is their responsibility to serve them,” he added.
