Perak Menteri Besar, Dato’ Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu welcomed the Kita Prihatin economic stimulus package announced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin yesterday.
In a media statement, Faizal said that the Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) 2.0 with an allocated RM7 billion will surely provide a breath of relief to the nearly 10.6 million receivers of targeted groups.
“The state government also welcomes the Wage Subsidy Programme 2.0 which helps relieve the burden off employers who were heavily affected in maintaining their workers,” he added.
“Clearly, this aid was framed after taking into account the difficulties endured by the public and business communities who are still struggling due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic towards the whole economic sector,” Faizal expressed.
