Companies may have problems claiming wage subsidies under SME stimulus package, says FMM


PETALING JAYA: The additional allocation worth RM10bil for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is timely and welcomed, says the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM).

However, its president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai said that as much as the government had responded to SME needs, some conditions for companies to qualify for the stimulus benefits may render it a bit difficult to claim the wage subsidies.
