Dr Sim: Delay in special Covid-19 allowance for medical frontliners due to lack of updated name list from Health Dept Datuk Seri Dr Sim Kui Hian speaks to reporters after a function at the Fire and Rescue Department state headquarters August 26, 2020. — Picture by Roystein Emmor/Borneo Post
“What happened is the name list has to come from the Sarawak Health Department before we can pay. Otherwise if we keep on paying according to the outdated name list since March, then there will be many of those who are eligible from April onwards who would miss out.
Dr Sim also denied rumours claiming that the reason for the delayed payout of the Covid-19 special allowance was because the state government was out of money. He added that the decision on who is eligible to receive the special allowance or who is not lies with the department, not the state government.
