                  Minister’s Department in charge of the economy, said                                                                      every two hours and rides are sanitised

                  real economic activity has yet to catch up. Citing a
                  Statistics Department study, he said retail sale
                  performance was only at 30% of pre-MCO levels,
                  while only 15.6% of hotel rooms were occupied.

                  “There is still a lack of confidence among
                  people to go out, which in turn leads to a lack
                  of consumer spending. Without household
                  spending,  the  government’s  stimulus
                  packages will fall flat on its face as one of the
                  desired outcomes of these stimulus packages
                  is to help businesses pick up. So as far as we
                  can, let us spend and help keep  businesses
                  afloat,” said Mustapa in a June 29 op-ed article
                  in The Star.
