The government has responded to calls for more loan assistance with an enhanced targeted moratorium for the low-income B40 group and existing recipients of the Bantuan Sara Hidup (BSH) cash aid, who have loans of up to RM150,000.

This is a departure from the previous blanket loan moratorium and an extension of the current targeted repayment assistance in place until Dec 30...
