‘SMEs must get cash soon’


PETALING JAYA: Micro and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) need not register for the cash handouts as the data is already available to the government via local authorities and the Companies Commission of Malaysia, says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali (pic).

He also said the cash must be delivered as soon as possible since most SMEs have almost no income and 50% of their costs were wages and utility bills which needed to be paid during the enhanced movement control order (MCO) period.
