The estimated total loss in the tourism sector from January to February 2020 was RM3.37 billion. The government estimates Malaysia’s GDP decreased by 0.8 per cent to 1.2 per cent, a decrease of RM10.8 billion to RM17.3 billion,’’ he said in a special address.

Because Ketapi opened far too many borders despite not having adequate health equipment at each site, then failed to close them early, for fear of losing tourism dollars. Failure to plan is planning for failure.

Small money in comparison to the amount that these Evil Politicians makan duit Rakyat! 🤬Actually, I rather Malaysia lost all the money due to economy than being swallowed by these Penyamun Politicians!

PM and his ministers need to focus on this matter. We hope Anwar and Mahathir can find their peace somewhere else.

Look at Pirate MuhyiddinYassin sucking up to Mahathir chedetofficial by saying his Pirates will implement the stimulus package announced by Mahathir. Is Muhyiddin Yassin already feeling the heat of Mahathir's challenge in the Bersatu elections? Are you ready Muhyiddin Yassin?

MuhyiddinYassin, we would appreciate if you could ask banks to ease repayment of loan for those workers who have to be on unpaid leave due to business down as a result of COVID19. Thank you
