MAH president Kamaruddin Baharin says industries impacted directly, like hotels, need more assistance. FMTNews Covid19 Hotel StimulusPackage MAH MCO

The Covid-19 crisis has resulted in 2,041 hotel industry employees being laid off, 9,773 given unpaid leave and another 5,054 taking pay cuts.

The hotel industry, he said, had proposed a minimum of RM1,000 per employee, or a minimum equivalent of 50% of employee’s monthly pay, for a period of six months. MAH, Kamaruddin said, had called on banks to waive interest on top of the moratorium, and to reduce employers’ Employees Provident Fund contributions.

“At RM250 billion, the ‘Prihatin’ or ‘Caring Economic Stimulus Package’ does indeed sound impressive. But industries directly impacted by the outbreak of Covid-19 need a little bit more,” he said.
