The start of the new decade in 2020 was devastating and demoralising for many Malaysians. Millions of Malaysians' quality of life has been drastically lowered by the pandemic, political and economic crisis, and flood. The present social protection system in Malaysia has been stretched to its breaking point by the extraordinary scope and severity of the health, political, flood, and economic crises, demanding ad hoc budgetary help to complement them.
In this episode, Bonnibel Rambatan and Greg Lopez will discuss the top three issues, cost of living, employment and wages, and the economy, along with how the Malaysian government may address them through inclusive economic growth and all-inclusive social protection.
