Providing innovative solutions to help the needy

LETTERS: The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly impacted society in general. Many salary earners have lost their jobs due to business shutdowns. A lot of businesses have also ceased operations because of poor economic conditions.

Unemployment and discontinued business operations have undoubtedly brought on many social problems, which include low family income, poor healthcare, school drop-outs and street crimes, just to name a few.

Relying solely on governmental actions in solving social problems could be insufficient and slow. It also increases expenses for the government. Therefore, social entrepreneurship which focuses on business with a social mission could be a possible way out of social problems.
