NGO: Indian artistes living from hand to mouth need urgent aid

Michael says the group of Indian artistes lost their source of income due to the Covid-19 pandemic and are in dire straits.

Indian artistes in the B40 group have been badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic as they have been unable to make a living through performances.

Non-governmental organisation (NGO) Persatuan Gerakan Harapan Baru Malaysia member Michael Ghana urged the government to help the 500 affected artistes, by allocating a minimum one-off payment of RM10,000 each.
