“The i-Sinar is a good thing to have because RM10,000 means a lot of money for a lot of people. They might want to use it to pay their debts or may start a small business to make ends meet. When I was first laid off, I had to come up with a new plan to manage my finances and even took up the moratorium on my house loan. My wife and I dipped into our savings to open our (food) stall, which is doing very well, Alhamdullilah. If the programme had been around about the same time I was laid off, I would have considered it.” -Capt Azrin Zawawi, 44, former pilot, Kapten Corner owner
“The EPF Account 1 withdrawal is a real lifeline for me and my husband since we are both in the hotel industry, which is badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. We had no pay in April and May, then a 50% pay cut from June to October and 70% since November. With three young kids to care for, the withdrawal will allow us to have a breather for some time while we sort out some future plans. We will spend the money prudently instead of investing in any business for now as raw materials are also expensive.” -Nur Basirah Chu Abdullah, 37, hotel purchaser
