Govt provided an economic stimulus package of RM295bil to help M'sians, businesses during MCO, says PM


PETALING JAYA: The government pumped in an economic stimulus package worth some RM295bil aimed at helping Malaysians and businesses tide over during the movement control order (MCO), says Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (pic).

If the MCO had to be enforced again, it would be counterproductive to the efforts made by the government, and the nation would stand to lose RM2bil daily while millions of Malaysians would also lose their source of income, said Muhyiddin.
