CORONAVIRUS | DPMM and MTEM wish the gov't would announce a more comprehensive stimulus package.
CORONAVIRUS | The government has been told to exempt the employers from contributing to the Employees Provident Fund and Social Security Organisation for six months.

The NGOs believed this would ease the burden of the business community, especially the small and medium enterprise which comprises 70 percent of the businesses in the country.
