KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 15): The government is concerned about the frustration of the people in the states under Phase One of the National Recovery Plan (PPN), who have not had the opportunity to enjoy the relaxation of restrictions announced earlier.
Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said he understood the frustration, but every decision on the relaxation must be made with caution and by taking into account the pandemic situation in the country.
“The government understands that many economic activities have been halted and various plans have to be put on hold as a result of this pandemic.
“The government is aware that the longer there are restrictions, the greater the potential impact on the mental and physical health of the people,” he said in a statement today.
Muhyiddin said it was important for the economic sector to reopen in stages as otherwise, the impact on business operators and workers would be worse. — Bernama
