 KUCHING (Jan 19): The expansion of the Prihatin Special Grant Plus assistance to include hawkers and small traders in the state is a much-awaited relief from the difficulties caused by Covid-19, said Sarawak Traders and Hawkers Association president Mohd Ariffin Abdullah.

He said the association welcomes the federal government’s expansion of the assistance, which involves an additional allocation of RM650 million, to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The community of hawkers and small traders are among the most affected since the enforcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO) in March last year until now.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has a huge impact on hawkers and small traders, who rely on income from daily sales, when they could not trade during the MCO period. As such, we are very happy and thankful to the prime minister for expanding this grant,” he said when contacted Tuesday.

Mohd Ariffin pointed out that even though the financial assistance may not be a large amount, it can cover the cost in business.

“Not only will it alleviate the burden of hawkers and small traders, it can also encourage them to continue to face the economic challenges that are hitting the industry.

“I hope all association members will persevere in facing this difficult time and continue to provide support to both the state and federal governments.,” he said.

In addition, he called on unlicensed hawkers and small traders to register themselves with local authorities so that it will be easier for them to get the assistance from the government.

The association currently has a membership of 1,450 since 2015.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced 22 initiatives that will be implemented under the RM15 billion ‘Perlindungan Ekonomi dan Rakyat Malaysia’ (Permai) assistance package.

The package is aimed at protecting the economy and the people, following the declaration of Emergency to fight Covid-19.

The 22 initiatives to be implemented under the RM15 billion PERMAI Assistance Package aims to combat the COVID-19 epidemic, protect the welfare of the people and support business continuity.

The continuation of the Prihatin Special Grant Plus assistance is one of the initiatives that is set to provide assistance to the businesses and industries.

It is expanded to cover 500,000 SMEs in the seven states affected by MCO with a payment of RM1,000 each, while 300,000 SMEs in other states will receive RM500 each.

PKP - Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan memberi kesan kepada peniaga kecil & Penaja Sarawak 2021

 Aktiviti Perniagaan warga peniaga kecil dan penjaja di Sarawak amat terkesan akibat penularan virus Covid19. Tahun 2021 mencatatkan peningkatan mendadak penularan virus pembunuh ini.

Peniaga-peniaga kecil dan penjaja yang terlibat dengan industri makanan adalah paling terkesan dengan keadaan ini.

Pengusaha kedai makan dan minum, gerai, restoren, peniaga pinggir jalan terpaksa mengurangkan jualan kepada hampir 50% berbanding dengan hari-hari biasa.

Keengganan orang awam untuk keluar dan menjamu makan diluar juga merupakan faktor penurunan ini selain daripada Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) yang dilaksanakan.

Walau demikian, penghantaran makanan melalui ejen hantaran seperti Food Panda dan Grab food adalah sebagai alternatif tetapi tidak banyak membantu.

 

Keadaan Kedai dan gerai makan agak lengang tidak seperti biasa. Gaji pekerja dan sewa premis tetap dibayar. 

Ada juga dikalangan peniaga terpaksa menutup perniagaan untuk tidak mengambil risiko yang lebih tinggi.

Pihak Persatuan PPPS mengharapkan Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak merangka satu kaedah dan formula bagaimana warga dan peniaga ini boleh dibantu. 

Kekangan sekarang ialah, kebanyakan peniaga kecil dan penjaja tidak mempunyai lesen. Mereka menumpang dikedai-kedai kopi, berniaga di tepi jalan, pasar malam dan pusat penjaja menggunakan permit dari pihak PBT.

 

Bersama kita berdoa agar wabak virus pembunuh ini terhapus dalam tahun 2021. Kerjasama dan rasa tanggung jawab kita bersama adalah sangat penting bagi memutuskan rantaian penularan ini.

Patuhi SOP dan akur dengan perintah PKP yang disarankan semoga kita mendapat kemenangan.

Sekian.
