Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) president Dr Michael Jeyakumar said the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government appears ready to spend money to boost the economy in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic but it needs to do so effectively in order to help everyone in the country.

He suggested one of the ways the government could achieve this was by providing a modified universal basic income (UBI) to anyone who does not currently have a source of income.
