YB. R.S.N RAYER - A.D.U.N. SERI DELIMA, PENANG

KUALA LUMPUR: The opposition was less than happy with the RM60 billion second stimulus package.

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng (DAP-Bagan) said the government should emulate neighbouring countries by directly giving money to the rakyat.
"To stimulate the economy, the government should give the money to Malaysians, like what Singapore, Taiwan and even Thailand are doing. For the next two years, things are going to get bad. We need to help the poor families in order for them to have money for their day to day life.
Currently, there is no direct financial aid to all Malay-sians," he said.

The DAP secretary-general also lamented that the government did not implement the opposition's suggestion for families with incomes less than RM6,000 to be given an annual aid of RM6,000.
