PETALING JAYA: The White Flag movement where people who need aid are encouraged to hang a white cloth outside their houses is gaining momentum.
The idea that was birthed online and gained traction on Twitter with the hashtag #BenderaPutih had united Malaysians in their mission to help fellow Malaysians struggling amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Various groups have stepped forward and responded with food for those who signalled for help.
Along with fresh helping hands are five long-established non-governmental organisations that have been actively aiding those in need.
THE Covid-19 pandemic has caused many companies to be in financial distress, forcing some to temporarily shut down factories and operations for at least two months from mid-March in 2020 and experiencing lower demand after that.
With numerous firms seeing a decline in earnings, and many falling into the red, one wonders how much Malaysia’s top brass were paid in 2020 versus the year before.
According to data compiled by The Edge, among the top 50 companies by market capitalisation, the heads of 15 firms took a pay cut, 13 saw a bump in their paycheques and only two those of Supermax Corp Bhd and Time dotcom Bhd had no change in pay.
