MTUC lauds SME package, but urges govt to let workers return to work


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) has welcomed the government's special stimulus package for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), but has urged the government to allow workers to go back to work.

Its president Datuk Abdul Halim Mansor said the government's move to increase the wage subsidy limit from 100 workers to 200 demonstrates that the government listens and is concerned about the needs of employers and SMEs.
