SEREMBAN – The Negri Sembilan government agreed to provide stall rental exemptions for two months, starting January, to ease the financial burden faced by traders in the state.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun said the exemption would benefit 4,165 traders in seven local government areas, involving an allocation of almost RM1 million.
“This is to assist those who are affected by the Covid-19 pandemic,” he told reporters after chairing the state executive council weekly meeting at Wisma Negeri here today.
Meanwhile, Aminuddin said a total of 3,600 tablet devices would be distributed to students facing problems with participating in online learning.
He said all 36 state constituencies would receive 100 devices each, involving allocation from the state school maintenance trust fund and “Tabung Bina Insan” fund totalling RM2 million.
Aminuddin said the state government also proposed that all mosques hold “solat hajat” prayers this Friday to seek God’s mercy for the pandemic to be eradicated immediately and effectively in the country. – Bernama, February 3, 2021
