Stimulus package a welcome relief


By JOY LEE

PETALING JAYA: While the additional stimulus for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is a welcomed relief, response from the industry has been somewhat tepid as these additional measures will likely only be sufficient to help soothe the pain until the end of the movement control order (MCO) in mid-April.

If the MCO is extended, the supplemental stimulus will not be enough to keep businesses going and the likelihood of them shuttering their operations will still be on the cards as they brace for a recession.
