So far, each individual and sector of business has been covered in the Penjana economic regeneration plan.

A Grand Economic Plan For The Entire Nation To Get Back Up
This is just a mere summary of what was announced in the almost an hour long announcement by PM Tan Sri Muhyiddin. With the RM35 bil Penjana plan for economic regeneration in mind, everyone is looking at ways on how to revive the businesses and lessen economic struggles. However, with all that going on, there’s still one thing left unclear – is the CMCO ending on 9 June as announced earlier last month? We’d have to wait for another timely announcement from the PM. For now, stay safe and practice the new normal!
