Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread over the world and in Malaysia, has resulted in a total of 5,125,209 cases in Malaysia, with a death toll of 37,171 cases as of 16th September 2023. The COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on Malaysia's political, economic, social, health, and educational sectors. The Movement Control Order (MCO) was enacted in response to the dramatic spike in cases, and it has a number of ramifications for Malaysian society. Several research studies have been carried out to investigate the negative effects of COVID-19. However, no studies on the B40 group have been conducted in Selangor. As a result, the aim of this study is to determine the negative economic and social effects of COVID-19 on the B40 group in Selangor. Furthermore, the purpose of this research was to find solutions to mitigate the negative effects of COVID-19 on the economic and social well-being of communities in Selangor. An online survey was used to discuss the results and perceptions of the B40 group in Selangor to the negative effects of COVID-19. A total of 200 respondents from all throughout Selangor took part in the survey. The research found that COVID-19 had negative consequences for the majority of the B40 group, but that government interventions could well help them overcome those implications. As a result of better understanding on harmful effects of COVID-19 among B40 and how to overcome them, effective preventive measures should be considered to enhance and restore the socioeconomic well-being of B40 people.
