‘Budget should focus on the people’


SEREMBAN: Budget 2021 has to be an expansionary one that focuses on saving jobs as well as the small and medium enterprises which are the most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

The Umno deputy president said the government must double the assistance to the most affected groups and sectors as the third wave of the pandemic would further delay the country’s recovery to the first quarter of 2021.
