) has expressed mixed opinions on the proposed budget and initiatives. While it welcomes relief measures for lower and middle-income groups to cope with rising costs of living amidst a volatile economic landscape, PIKOM feels a more radical plan is needed to accelerate Malaysia’s push towards a high-income economy.
PIKOM Chairman Ong Chin Seong said “We applaud the government for taking steps to address the economic uncertainty that is enveloping the globe, especially for communities most impacted by the rising prices.
