KUALA LUMPUR: The government’s RM250bil stimulus package has not gone down well with owners of small and large businesses.

They pointed out that there was no immediate relief for them except for the wage subsidy of RM600 per month for three months which they lament comes with conditions that many may not be able to fulfill.
