According to the global oil price trend this year, Sarawak\u2019s petroleum product sales today is levied. Taxes may exceed 4 billion ringgits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ting said SUPP supported using the State Oil revenue to help Sarawakians affected at this moment as so many are at a loss when they lost their income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that during the 2020 SUPP Delegates conference, the resolutions passed include calling on the Sarawak government to provide Sarawak people with free coronavirus vaccines, and making good use of the approximately RM3.1 billion petroleum product sales tax that year by giving Sarawakians RM500 in one lump sum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the start of the vaccination plan, the Sarawak People\u2019s United Party thanked the Sarawak government for providing free coronavirus vaccines to all people.

All areas are burdened by the epidemic. During the epidemic, the government of the Sarawak Coalition of Political Parties has shown caring and compassion for the people. It has assisted Sarawak through a series of assistance, including utility bills and house tax discounts, B40 group assistance, hawker and hawker assistance, and local council vendor rent discounts, etc. The people have weathered the epidemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the wise leadership of Abang Johari and all the leaders of the Sarawak Party Alliance, the Sarawak government is also preparing to launch a retreat plan after the coronavirus epidemic in preparation for the revitalization and recovery of Sarawak&#8217;s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ting said SUPP believed that the Sarawak government, which has been recognized for its shrewd financial management and ability, has the ability to directly distribute RM500 in aid to the people of Sarawak. During this difficult period of the epidemic, it will share Sarawak\u2019s wealth with the whole people, relieve the people\u2019s hardships, and demonstrate Sarawak\u2019s political parties.
