PETALING JAYA: Malaysians believe that the Malaysian Economic and Rakyat’s Protection Assistance Package (Permai) has not only helped relieve the people’s burden during the Covid-19 pandemic, but it can also inspire others to extend a helping hand to those in need.

Social activist Kuan Chee Heng said the special tax relief for donors who are helping Malaysians who are struggling with the socio-economic effects brought on by the pandemic can encourage more people to join and assist others.
