PUTRAJAYA – More than 400 spa and foot massage centre operators are set to receive a RM1,000 one-off payment under the National People’s Well-Being and Economic Recovery Package (Pemulih).

The Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry (Motac) said in a statement today that recipients of the aid must be registered under associations accredited by Motac, namely the Association of Malaysian Spas (AMSPA) and Malaysian Association of Wellness and Spa (MAWSPA).

Those who qualify can apply online at the Motac website starting tomorrow. The deadline for applications is September 6.

“Motac urges all operators who qualify to immediately apply for the assistance offered to reduce their burden due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” the statement read.
