ISKANDAR PUTERI: Local councils in Johor are expected to lose more than RM12mil in revenue as the state government continues to help small businesses face challenges from economic uncertainties due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

State local government and housing committee chairman Ayub Jamil said the government had and would continue to carry out various initiatives through the local councils in helping small traders, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) during such a difficult period.
