DAP: Unemployment data shows blanket loan moratorium should be extended

DAP said the number of unemployed individuals and labour force participation in June showed that the blanket loan repayment moratorium was still necessary.

Although the unemployment rate was now down to 4.9 percent from a record high of 5.3 percent in the preceding month, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, in a statement today, said that the devil was in the details.
