KOTA KINABALU : Kerajaan
Sabah sedia mengkaji kemungkinan menarik balik pemansuhan Amanah Rakyat Negeri
Sabah (ARNS) yang diperkenalkan semasa zaman pemerintahan Pertubuhan Kebangsaan
Sabah Bersatu (USNO).
Bagaimana pun, Ketua Menteri
Datuk Seri Musa Aman berkata perkara itu perlu diteliti terlebih dahulu demi
kebaikan semua pihak.
"Apa juga peruntukan
yang diberikan kepada rakyat kita teliti dengan baik dan apa juga yang baik
untuk rakyat kita akan pertimbangkan dengan sewajarnya," katanya kepada
pemberita selepas melancarkan taklimat khas pelaksanaan Program Nadi Kasih bagi
negeri Sabah di sini Khamis.
Musa, yang juga Menteri
Kewangan Negeri, berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas cadangan Persatuan
Kebajikan dan Pendidikan Kadazandusun Murut Sabah (Pekadin) agar kerajaan
negeri menarik balik pemansuhan ARNS yang berkuat kuasa pada awal 1990-an.
Semalam, Naib Presiden
Pekadin Luis Lidong dipetik sebagai berkata bahawa sudah sampai masanya
kerajaan negeri menimbang semula perkara itu dengan mengambil kira kedudukan
kewangan negeri yang kini kukuh.
Menurut Luis, ARNS yang
dahulunya dikenali sebagai Amanah Saham Tun Mustapha diberikan kepada warga
Sabah yang berumur 21 tahun dan ke atas, dan jumlah bayaran terakhir yang
diberikan kepada mereka yang layak ialah RM200. (Bernama)
Jika ARNS diwiujudkan semula, kerajaan negeri akan mendapat sokongan yang lagi kuat selepas itu

ReplyDeleteharap ia diteliti dgn baik dan keputusan yang baik untuk semua dibuat.
DeleteWhile we wait for the development on this matter. There have been some development on BR1M 2.0. Application forms for the second round of the Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M 2.0) cash aid are expected to be distributed this month, says Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai. The government will make an announcement on BR1M 2.0 in one or two weeks, by October the forms should be available," he said after launching the Malaysia Insurance Summit 2012 . BR1M 2.0 was announced on Friday by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak, with eligibility extended to single individuals, aged 21 and above and earning below RM2,000 a month, who will get a RM250 one-off payment.
ReplyDeleteNajib, who is also Finance Minister, said RM3 billion has been allocated for the scheme, with payments from early next year to 4.3 million households and 2.7 million single individuals. Lim said those who had previously applied for BR1M 1.0 need not re-register for BR1M 2.0, while those who think they are eligible would have to make fresh applications.University students, who already have the RM250 book voucher, are not eligible for the cash aid, but unemployed university graduates are, he added. The government expects more than 4.3 million households to benefit from the Bantuan Rakyat 1 Malaysia (BR1M 2.0) handouts of RM250 to each family to be distributed from January.
DeleteThe number of households is likely to surpass the BRIM cash aid of RM500 to each household last year, said Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai.This took into account those who were were eligible but failed to register on time."The first BR1M benefitted slightly more than 4.3 million households last year and we are going to give to these people again," Lim said, noting that the government would make a separate announcement on BR1M 2.0 within the next two weeks. He said those who have registered and received the previous payout need not register again.Those who feel they were eligible but were unsuccessful for various reasons would have to put in fresh applications," he said. On the RM250 book voucher, Lim said university students who had applied for the previous handouts would not be eligible for BR1M 2.0.He said the government would vet all applications to avoid double payments.
