FMM president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai said although FMM supports the movement restriction as a measure by the government to curb the spread of Covid-19 export order commitments still need to continue, and a total shutdown of operations will have damaging effects on businesses and the economy.
KUALA LUMPUR: The movement restriction imposed on all private companies, excluding those involved in essential services, may be “too drastic, ” said the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai.
Although FMM supports the movement restriction as a measure by the government to curb the spread of Covid-19, Soh said export order commitments still need to continue, and a total shutdown of operations will have damaging effects on businesses and the economy.
“FMM has submitted a list of essential goods as well as goods that are part of the supply chain to be exempted from the Restriction of Movement Order, ” he added.
