MEF welcomes Permai aid, but says WSP should be extended

Malaysian Employers Federation executive director Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Employers’ Federation (MEF) has welcomed the government’s latest stimulus package to beef up its war against Covid-19, but said the Wage Subsidy Programme (WSP) should be extended based on the length of the movement control order.

MEF executive director Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan said this was because the ongoing MCO, which commenced on Jan 13 and scheduled to end on Jan 26, might be extended by the government.
