Financial payouts will be made in 2 separate phases to nearly 7 million Malaysians with a total cost of more than RM9 million.
The RM20 billion Prihatin Rakyat Economic Stimulus Package (ESP) was unveiled by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in early April in order to supplement the economy as well as the rakyat during this critical global crisis.
