Businesses plead for help ahead of 'full lockdown'

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are appealing to Putrajaya for aid ahead of a "total lockdown" next Tuesday in an effort to curb spiralling number of Covid-19 cases and deaths.

The Small and Medium Enterprises Association Malaysia (Samenta) urged Putrajaya to urgently put together an aid package as many firms are on the brink of running out of funds.
