“The RM10 billion is a massive use of public money to help the private sector mitigate the current crisis,” it said in a statement. The information is vital for workers who were laid off or forced to take pay cuts despite their employers being given the financial assistance should they seek legal recourse.

BNM added RM5 billion to the original RM5 billion in SRF following overwhelming demand to keep these SMEs afloat and save about 200,000 jobs.

Agreed 👍. Who are the recipients? Coz a lot have been left out 😪
