KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (July 3): Leaders at all levels, as well as relevant agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), have been asked to ensure that information on the government’s economic stimulus plan is widely utilized by the public in order to alleviate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. In a joint statement issued today, the information chiefs of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration urged people from all walks of life to take advantage of the government’s incentives.
“The incentives include a moratorium offered by the banks to all individual borrowers to reduce the burden of those whose income is affected,” stated the statement. “However, borrowers are encouraged not to add unnecessary financial commitments if they are not in a severe situation.”

The statement also stated that the PN government’s party information apparatus fully supports Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s recent announcement of the National People’s Well-Being and Economic Recovery Package (PEMULIH).
“All party apparatus will play a role in ensuring that the crucial message of the government’s aid package reaches the grassroots,” it added, adding that the people might benefit from the PEMULIH initiative’s Food Basket Assistance program, which is allotted to all MPs.
The parties pledged to continue assisting the PN government in ensuring the success of the National Recovery Plan by bolstering the implementation of the Covid-19 National Immunization Program./n
