After the end of the automatic moratorium, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) together with banking institutions have extended the moratorium program and loan repayment assistance starting October 2020. More than 700,000 applications have been received and 98 percent of borrowers have received moratorium. All those eligible for the moratorium only need to apply to their respective banks. The main principle for moratorium is responsibility and justice. For those who do not get the moratorium, they can still get it by applying to their respective banks.
