Helping: Volunteers distributing food to the homeless in George Town, Penang, on Friday. Fear might stop the needy from accepting aid if it’s distributed by the government. — LIM BENG TATT/The Star
FIRST off, I would like to thank the government for the rather comprehensive RM250bil stimulus package. However, there are a few areas that could use some expansion.
To begin with, while the government has provided e-hailing drivers with a RM500 one-off payment, it should also recognise the service provided by food delivery riders. Perhaps a one-off payment of RM200 per rider would be a good way to acknowledge how they are helping to keep people home during this movement control order (MCO) period?
