Kebajikan Syarikat Dan Pekerja Pengendali Haji Serta Umrah Perlu Dijaga – Zahid


KUALA LUMPUR, 28 Jun – Presiden UMNO, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi melahirkan rasa simpati terhadap keluhan pemilik, kakitangan dan mutawif syarikat pelancongan yang mengendalikan pakej haji dan umrah yang kehilangan punca pendapatan mereka.

Malah kata beliau lagi sehingga ada syarikat yang sudah menutup operasi dan terpaksa memberi cuti tanpa gaji kepada kakitangan mereka dan difahamkan, hampir 500 ribu orang termasuk ahli keluarga dari sektor pengendali haji dan umrah ini terlibat.

“Sebagaimana kita sedia maklum, Kerajaan Arab Saudi masih tidak membenarkan ibadah haji dan umrah dilaksanakan tahun ini bagi mengelak kemudharatan yang mengancam nyawa akibat Wabak COVID-19 yang melanda seluruh dunia.

“Saya memohon agar kerajaan mempertimbangkan pemberian Dana Bantuan Tambahan kepada syarikat-syarikat ini serta kakitangan yang terlibat,” katanya menerusi catatan di Facebook.

Pada masa yang sama Zahid turut memuji usaha kerajaan yang sebelum ini melaksanakan pakej rangsangan termasuk membantu syarikat-syarikat agensi pelancongan tempatan khasnya yang mengendalikan haji dan umrah.

“Selain itu saya memuji sikap yang ditunjukkan oleh beberapa pemilik syarikat dan kakitangan mereka yang mula beralih kepada industri pelancongan tempatan dan tidak kurang juga yang mula menjual kurma dan lain-lain produk dari Timur Tengah bagi meneruskan kelangsungan hidup.

“Semoga Allah SWT mengangkat wabak COVID -19 ini dengan segera agar dapat kita menziarahi rumah Allah dan kekasihnya Nabi Muhammad SAW,” ujarnya.- UMNO Online

Welfare of Haj and Umrah agencies must be taken care of – Zahid

KUALA LUMPUR, June 28 – UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi expresses sympathy for owners, employees and mutawifs of tourism companies running the Haj and Umrah packages that have lost their income.
He added that some companies had closed their operations and had to pay unpaid leave to their staff, and it was understood that almost 500 thousand people including family members from the haj and umrah operators were involved.
“As far as we are aware of, the Saudi government has still not allowed the haj and umrah to be performed this year to avoid the life-threatening damage caused by the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide.
“I request that the government consider the provision of Supplementary Funds to these companies and their employees,” he said in a Facebook post.
At the same time, Zahid also praised the government’s efforts in implementing the stimulus package including helping local travel agency companies, especially pilgrims and pilgrims.
“In addition, I applaud the attitude expressed by some of the owners of the company and their staff who are beginning to turn to the local tourism industry and no less are starting to sell dates and other products from the Middle East to further their survival.
“May Allah SWT raise this COVID -19 outbreak immediately so that we can visit the house of Allah and his beloved Prophet Muhammad,” he said.
