The Malaysia Retailers Association says the recently announced wage subsidy programme has too many conditions. FMTNews Covid19 MRA

The Malaysia Retailers Association says businesses will need six months or more to recover from the impact of the movement control order.

The MRA appealed for the government to widen the scope of the RM5.9 billion wage subsidy programme, announced in the second stimulus package, to aid the cash flow of retail businesses. “Once again, we appeal to the government to show that you are behind us — the businesses,” its president and council members said in a joint statement today.

It added that this would prevent the programme from benefiting the government’s targeted number of 3.3 million employees.
