KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 — Pakatan Harapan has called on the government to buck up on their handling the country’s economy amid the Covid-19 pandemic, saying more proactive steps must be taken immediately to avoid losing out on investors while keeping the virus under control.
“The continued strategy of disruptive intermittent lockdowns will destroy any remaining investor confidence and bring the economy to its knees,” it said in a statement. It proposed for specific investments be made to handle Covid-19 cases in the future, underscoring how the private health sector must be plugged in to assist in containment efforts in line with the “whole of society” approach.
The economic committee’s second suggestion was for the government to provide funding, grants, and to lead by example in pandemic-proofing workspaces to ensure continuity in the supply chains. This includes offering tax incentives, deductions, or even subsidies to affected companies for them to install appropriate sensors and ventilation systems at these modified premises.
