In his comments on Budget 2021, Malayan Banking Bhd group president and CEO Datuk Abdul Farid Alias (pic) said in a statement: “It is during times like these that we must find ways to assist struggling communities and businesses, the unemployed, and those whose income have been significantly reduced because of underemployment, pay cuts or loss of business.”

Economists note such efforts will not only help put the country’s economy on the right track of growth, but they can also help prevent a potential social crisis.
