Government allocates RM10m to revive retail sector, says PM

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 — The nationwide implementation of ‘Program Jualan Malaysia’ or PJM 2022 initiative throughout the year will enable people to shop at cheaper prices as well as help revive the retail sector affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The contribution of the retail sector is very significant to the country’s recovery. This sector contributed 17.2 per cent to Gross Domestic Product in 2019 and generated two million job opportunities for the Malaysian market,” he said at the national-level PJM 2022 launching ceremony here today. He said beginning this month until the end of the year, KPDNHEP would coordinate eight major sales segments planned under the programme including the festive season segment, mega sales, year-end sales as well as special sales nationwide.

He said Malaysia was on the right track towards recovery with the reopening of more than 90 per cent of the economic sector and most social activities after nearly all the country’s population have been fully vaccinated against the Covid-19 virus and 40 per cent of them have received their booster jab.
