Call for MCO exit strategy to facilitate business ops

ACCCIM president Tan Sri Datuk Ter Leong Yap(pic) said that post-MCO, the government needed to look into co-sharing the cost of health prevention through tax deductions on health costs, continued disinfection operations nationwide and setting clear and enforcement of standard operating procedures (SOPs).

KUALA LUMPUR: Amid the third phase of the movement control order (MCO), the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) has urged the government to prepare an exit strategy from the MCO to facilitate business operations.

This comes after close to 50% of companies surveyed indicated that they need more than six months to recover post-MCO, according to a poll done by ACCCIM’s think tank Socio-Economic Research Centre (SERC).
