Tax-free personal protection equipment?


THE 2024 Budget tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Friday did not provide any stimulus to reduce accidents and injuries in the workplaces.

Employees face a range of hazards in workplaces that could cause injury or illness. PPE is a crucial aspect of workplace safety that cannot be ignored as it greatly reduces the risk of injury.
