NSTnation Covid-19: Anwar proposes SST exemption for all sectors until June
He also said SST exemption for sectors directly affected by the pandemic should be extended until year-end.
“The economic stimulus measures introduced by the then finance minister Lim Guan Eng were released before the second wave of Covid-19 infections. “Building on the measures in the existing stimulus, the Finance Ministry should increase Bantuan Sara Hidup payment for May 2020 and consider additional one-off cash payments for all BSH-eligible households.
Aside from that, he said employers, both in the civil service and private sector should assist their employees by implementing work-from-home policy as much as possible. “Additional foreign travel restrictions need to be adopted as the virus manifests and spreads in other countries.” The PKR president also urged all politicians, especially those from the ruling Perikatan Nasional pact to stop their politicking during these troubled times.
