MATTA DISAPPOINTED WITH SECOND ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE, FEARS MORE WILL LOSE JOBS

MATTA is disappointed with the much anticipated Economic Stimulus Package announced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin which fails to address the key issue of protecting jobs which is equally as important as the temporary relief measures outlined today.

“We are thankful and fully appreciative that the Rakyat, especially the hardcore poor, have been given a temporary lifeline. However, the package has failed to meet the needs of tourism enterprises particularly SMEs and does not address the problem of staff retention. What will happen after the handouts are fully given out by May when employees find themselves out of a job because the businesses they used to work for have been forced to close shop?” - MATTA President, Datuk Tan Kok Liang.

MATTA REQUESTS NEW MINISTER OF TOURISM TO
AMEND OR REVOKE PROBLEMATIC FOURTH SCHEDULE

MATTA is calling on the new Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture to have the Fourth Schedule of the Tourism Industry Act 1992 amended swiftly or revoked altogether.

“The Fourth Schedule was drafted way before outbound travel became fully developed. The tourism landscape and business models have changed drastically but the Fourth Schedule is still stuck to where it was 20 years ago.” - MATTA President Datuk Tan Kok Liang
