KUALA LUMPUR (March 13): The Ministry of Finance Ministry (MoF) will continue to take proactive action by going down to the ground to understand the needs of the people, especially those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The MoF has announced several economic stimulus packages amounting to RM305 billion, including the Prihatin National Assistance and National Economic Recovery Plan. The Inter-Agencies Economic Stimulus Implementation and Coordination Unit (LAKSANA) has also been established to monitor the implementation of the economic stimulus packages announced in 2020. Tengku Zafrul said the field sessions held were not political in nature and ruled that he would contest in the next general election. He said what had been done so far was still not enough and more field sessions would continue to be conducted this year.
