Malaysians: Deferral helpful but comes with a cost


PETALING JAYA: The government’s decision to allow the deferment of loan repayments to cushion the economic fallout on account of the Covid-19 pandemic drew mixed reactions from Malaysians.

While some said it would give more breathing space for those with high financial commitments, others opined that it was merely a temporary solution as loan interest would be accrued from deferred monthly mortgage instalments.
