Focus on saving jobs and SMEs, says Tok Mat

SEREMBAN: Budget 2021 which will be tabled next week has to be an expansionary one focusing on saving jobs as well as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan (pic).

The Umno deputy president, who is also known as Tok Mat, said on Saturday (Oct 31) that the government should double the assistance to the most affected groups and sectors as the third wave of the pandemic was likely to further delay the country's recovery to the first quarter of 2021.
