The Perikatan Nasional government unveiled another stimulus package today worth RM20 billion, of which RM11 billion constituted direct fiscal injection.

Part of the programme is the plan to bump up its Covid-19 vaccine spending from RM3 billion to RM5 billion. This is to expedite the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme to achieve herd immunity targets by December 2021 instead of February 2022.

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announced the “Pemerkasa" - Program Strategik Memperkasa Rakyat dan Ekonomi (Strategic programme to empower the people and economy) this evening.
