Instead of begging at the private sector, look at the 'gaji-buta' public sector tzafrul_aziz KerajaanPintuBelakang has the largest MuhyiddinYassin cabinet in the history. Cut down on your wastage first!! 🤦‍♂️

Yet another plan that isn't pragmatic nor effective. The motivations of companies are very easy to predict. They are motivated profit. Developing a plan that takes advantage of that will be much more effective. Asking them to behave in an unconventional way is not wise.

Ministers who earn without paycut, without reduced salary, and grossly incompetent, should do more for the people they are working for.

You mean companies like Top Gloves, Supermaxx, Calsberg etc Yes. This time I agree with you. They should contribute more taxes or pool their funds in supporting them the front liners.

Yeah they will immediately listen to your advise. Good luck
