KUCHING, Jan 15 (Bernama) -- The federal government will channel financial aid of RM22 million to help outboard motor owners in Sarawak because of higher fuel prices due to high transportation costs, especially in the interior areas of the state.
Deputy Chief Minister, Tan Sri Alfred Jabu, said those who use outboard motors in their daily activities and had registered with the district office would be given a one-time rebate of RM705.
He announced the aid when giving out Ammophos fertiliser subsidy of RM59,580 to 360 families from 14 longhouses in Ulu Spak in Betong. The fertiliser is to increase the yield from hillside padi planting.
Last month, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister, Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad, said the rebate was the result of a proposal to the federal government to lighten the load of residents in the interior as the cost of fuel there could be up by three times due to transportation costs.
Up till now 31,000 owners of outboard motors have registered with district offices.

"Short of jumping for joy, [the VERIUNI laundry soap] is the most exciting product for the laundry that I have found. I buy [the laundry soap] in a Gallon at $21.95. I put a pump in the gallon (best value) and two squirts into the laundry. My whites have never been whiter and my cloths don't have the perfume smell that the store brands do. Two squirts in a full load equal less than 1/4 cup, less than two ounces. With one gallon equaling 128 ounces, that is 64 loads of laundry, or $0.34 a load. (If you add shipping, the cost is $0.50 cents per load.) That's almost half of what [many major store brands] require. Best yet, your cloths don't smell! Simply amazing. Check the link and try a bottle. You can buy by the quart, but with shipping and handling, a gallon is best. The entire product is returnable. But...you won't return it because you will love it. It's great! This is one of the best lines SFI carries."
