Nearly everyone is feeling the pinch stemming from the pandemic but the intensity of suffering and difficulties varies with individuals.
That explains why government assistance has become more targeted at the needy, such as the urban poor, as we try to weather the crisis.
So long as the economic uncertainty remains, this effort should continue but data accuracy needs to be given serious attention to ensure no one is excluded from the assistance that they deserve and need.
The difficulties experienced by the rakyat are more evident now as most states are currently under blanket movement control order (MCO 2.0) as daily new local Covid-19 cases remain high at four digits.
