Sabah plantation lockdown deemed negative for planters


PETALING JAYA: Planters with oil palm estates and mills in Tawau, Lahad Datu and Kinabatangan in Sabah became the first casualty of a Covid-19 lockdown within the plantation sector in the country, say analysts.

As a result of some plantation workers being tested positive for the coronavirus, the state government has decided to temporarily suspend the upstream operation in the districts for seven days starting March 25.
