Delay in rubber payments affect 4,000 Tenom families

Tenom: More than 4,000 families here are facing difficulties due to the delay in payments from the Sabah Rubber Industry Board (SRIB). Apart from getting payments only in one or two months' time, the rubber tappers also had to sell their rubber produce at a lower price, between RM7 and RM7.40, to the private rubber collecting agents, instead of the RM9 per kilo from the Government.
