PUTRAJAYA (April 26): The Ministry of Finance (MoF) said the government will be using RM5 billion from the National Trust Fund (KWAN) for the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as for the country's immunisation plan, as it had no choice but to do so as its finances are nearing its limit after the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal.
