Last Friday (27 March), the Malaysian government unveiled an economic stimulus package known as Package Prihatin or Caring Package valued at RM250bil that will benefit all Malaysians. From the amount, RM128bil to be used to protect the welfare of the people, RM100bil to support businesses including small and medium enterprises. The billion dollar question is, has the government addressed their plight and ease the challenges of SMEs and entrepreneurs with this new Caring Package? We speak to co-founder of Marmalade and member of myF&B, Adam Ng, to hear his take on Package Prihatin.
