500 bags of subsidised fertiliser sold to Sibu folk
A FERTILISER subsidy programme is benefitting farmers and residents in Sibu, Sarawak.

“Despite the hot weather, many came to buy the subsidised fertiliser,” said Sibu MP Oscar Ling who was the organiser of the programme at Jalan Ding Lik Kwong.

Ling said that among the buyers was a retiree who planted vegetables in her house’s backyard.

“She and her husband consume the produce themselves and sell anything extra, which is a way for people to reduce their financial burden,” he said.

He elaborated that the market price of each bag of fertiliser was RM200.

With his allocation, each pack was sold for RM135.

“Only 500 packs were available on a first-come, first-served basis.

“Buyers must produce their ID cards to purchase, as it is only available to Sibu parliamentary constituency voters,” said Ling.

He added that the subsidised fertiliser was sold out within three hours.
