Kerajaan melalui Lembaga Kemajuan Ikan Malaysia (LKIM) negeri
membelanjakan sebanyak RM1.5 juta setiap bulan untuk bayaran Elaun Sara
Hidup (ESH) kepada lebih 7,000 nelayan negeri ini.
Timbalan
Pengarah LKIM Negeri, Mohd Jamil Abdullah berkata setiap nelayan
terbabit menerima RM200 setiap bulan sejak skim berkenaan diperkenalkan.
Menurutnya,
LKIM telah meluluskan sebanyak 12,441 permohonan nelayan bagi bantuan
tersebut namun hanya 7000 sahaja yang menerima- nya kerana terdapat
nelayan yang telah tamat tempoh lesen mereka.
“Mereka tidak dapat
sebab tamat tempoh lesen perikanan atau bot, jadi apabila tamat tempoh
lesen maka mereka tidak akan dapat menerima elaun dan juga bantuan
subsidi minyak sehingga lesen berkenaan diperbaharui,’’ katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika berucap pada Majlis Penyerahan ESH Nelayan Secara Tunai kepada nelayan kawasan Tawau.
Jelasnya,
tempoh memperbaharui lesen berkenaan memerlukan masa sekurang-
kurangnya sebulan sebelum bantuan berkenaan dapat disalurkan semula.
“Lesen
perikanan dan bot berkenaan penting bagi mengenal pasti bantuan yang
disalurkan sampai kepada golongan sasar serta memantau nelayan yang
betul-betul turun ke laut,’’ katanya.
Sementara itu, Pembantu
Menteri Kewangan Negeri, Datuk Tawfiq Abu Bakar Titingan ketika
merasmikan majlis berkenaan berkata nelayan perlu menghargai usaha
kerajaan dalam usaha meningkatkan kualiti hidup mereka.
Pada majlis itu seramai 434 nelayan kawasan Tawau menerima bayaran elaun berkenaan yang disampaikan secara tunai.

ReplyDeleteThe government has never neglected the fishing community in Sabah and is committed to develop the state's fishing industry.
ReplyDeleteChief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said various incentives were made in the national and state budgets to uplift the living standard and well-being of the fishing community.
DeleteHe said this included bringing in modern technology from the west to develop the state's fishing industry for the benefit of local fishermen.
DeleteAs such, the people should appreciate efforts made by the government to transform the fishing industry, he said when opening the Fishermen's Festival at Pantai Mempakul, Menumbok.
DeleteMusa advised the fishing community there to not be influenced by the claim made the opposition parties that they were left out in the country's mainstream development.
DeleteFishermen in the district will live in more comfortable houses and enjoy better facilities.
ReplyDeleteMalaysian Fishery Development Board (LKIM) Sabah branch director Jamaludin Othman said that 118 of fishermen’s houses would be repaired or improved at a cost of RM1.4 million and RM1.6 million would be spent to replace the walkways at three coastal villages in the district whose occupants are fishermen.

Delete“More villages will enjoy this facility in the future. A fishery complex will also be built at the coastal village of Gayang to serve the surrounding villages.
Delete“With the completion of the complex which will include a jetty, fishermen in Tuaran will have a centralised facility to land their catches and keep them fresh while waiting to be sold,” he said.
Jamaludin disclosed this at the ceremony where Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Hj Hajiji Hj Noor handed monthly aid to registered and qualified fishermen in Tuaran.
DeleteThe money came from LKIM, an agency under the Federal Ministry of Agricultue.
DeleteLKIM has been giving out the monthly aid to fishermen nationwide since last year. This means that if a fisherman did not spend the money, he would have saved almost RM5,000 by the end of this year.

DeleteIn addition to the monthly aid to active fishermen, they are also covered under a special insurance scheme to protect them against accidents, injuries, permanent disabilities and deaths.
DeleteMeanwhile, Hajiji who is Sulaman assemblyman, said the LKIM aid is only part of the Barisan Nasional government’s efforts to assist the fishing community in Tuaran district in general and the Sulaman constituency in particular.
DeleteHe cited the hundreds of millions of ringgit spent to rehabilitate the fishing community at Mengkabong and Panembawan where the villagers now have free new houses which are better organised with proper sanitation.
