The government has announced a RM40 billion PEMERKASA Plus stimulus package, comprising a total of 12 initiatives based on three main goals, to shore up the country’s economy and assist the people amid the stricter Movement Control Order (MCO) being implemented to curb the rise in COVID-19 infections.
The three main goals are expanding the public health capacity through an allocation of RM1 billion, continuing the Prihatin Rakyat agenda with a RM33 billion allocation, and supporting business continuity with an additional RM6 billion, said Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
