Manpower shortage continues to drag down businesses


KUALA LUMPUR: All economic sectors and borders may be open now, but many businesses remain partially closed due to the ongoing labour shortage.

This lack of workers is stopping many businesses, including restaurants, from operating on a 24-hour basis despite being able to do so after the country entered the transition to endemic phase last Friday.
