Simanggang assemblyman Datuk Francis Harden Hollis witnessed the handing over of aid by Simanggang Community Service Centre and SUPP Simanggang Branch to the families involved.
“We understand the difficulties faced by the residents after the lockdown order was issued so we channel food aid to alleviate the burden of the residents involved,” they said in their statement.
The food aid for the residents was received by Tr Bandi Lapeh, Cr Gerunsen Nyelang and several longhouse residents.
This shows that the state government under Gabungan Parti Sarawak always prioritise the welfare of the people.
There was a lot of assistance given to the residents in form of cash and subsidies as well as moratoriums and it is hoped that the people are aware of the government’s aspirations which carries the slogan People First, Achievement First.
“To curb the Covid-19 transmission, the government had now entered the vaccination phase. The people who are eligible for the vaccine were encouraged to register through MySejahtera application or register manually through Tuai Rumah.
