FMM president Soh Thiam Lai

BUTTERWORTH: The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) has called on its members to make precautionary plans to ensure that there would not be any shortage of goods for production due to the Covid-19 outbreak in China.

Its president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai, said the federation believed that the local manufacturing industry must be prepared to face this issue as a result of shipment delays from China.

He said the supply chains, especially those most strongly linked to China, would be affected by temporary factory closures due to the Covid-19 outbreak. — Bernama
