Fahmi said it was no secret that the people would ultimately suffer from the spinoff effects of the outbreak, where besides those isolated for having the virus and those placed in self quarantine, businesses and players of the gig economy would also suffer from struggle to make ends meet. Fahmi suggested that among the arrears that could be overlooked during this period was rental payments of those in Public Housing Projects , shop rental owed to the Kuala Lumpur City Council , and bills by Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Air Selangor, Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd, Telekom Malaysia Berhad and Unifi.
“We need to be together in overcoming this Covid-19 outbreak. I believe, by easing the burden carried by the people, with sufficient readiness of the relevant machineries, Malaysia will be able to recover,” he wrote.
