MIRI: Most locals lauded the Sarawakku Sayang Special Aid Package (Pakej Bantuan Khas Sarawaku Sayang) which was announced by Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg yesterday.

“At least there’s light at the end of the tunnel for many people,” he said, thankful that the state government took such a step to help the people.
“As we are all in a state of uncertainty due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there is a ray of hope for Sarawakians to face the future,” he said.
