PETALING JAYA: Klang MP Charles Santiago has criticised a budget allocation to a federal propaganda unit, and said funds should have gone to micro businesses that are at a “breaking point”.
Santiago said specific support should have gone to protect small- and medium-sized enterprises from closing shop, while jobless workers could have been provided longer social protection.
He said the business community would have welcomed a longer loan moratorium.
“Focus should have been on promoting renewable energy, food security, environmental protection, digitalisation and a major push on social protection.
