Yes, but in the form of increased spending on infrastructure

UMNO has consistently supported increased spending on infrastructure as a means of stimulating the economy, such as the various infrastructure projects under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) and the construction of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL). This suggests they would strongly support this form of economic stimulus during recessions.

Yes

UMNO has historically supported government intervention in the economy, such as the New Economic Policy (NEP) in the 1970s and the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) in the 2010s. However, their focus has been more on specific sectors and targeted assistance rather than a blanket stimulus.

Yes, the government should intervene to boost a recovery

Yes, but in the form of assisting sectors most heavily hit by the recession

Agree

Yes, but in the form of tax breaks for all citizens

UMNO has supported tax breaks in the past, such as the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rebates for low-income households. However, their focus has been more on targeted assistance and infrastructure spending, so they may not strongly support tax breaks for all citizens as the primary form of economic stimulus.

Strongly disagree

No

UMNO has shown a preference for government intervention in the economy during times of crisis, such as the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, when they implemented capital controls and bailed out struggling companies. This suggests they would not support a hands-off approach during recessions.

Strongly disagree

No, recession is a natural cycle that purges excess

No, and the government should drastically reduce spending during recessions

Yes, and collectivize all industry

UMNO has never advocated for the collectivization of industry and has generally supported a mixed economy with both public and private sectors. This answer is not in line with their historical positions.
