Minimal impact on economy

Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai said the business fraternity is glad that the proclamation of emergency will not impede business operations.

PETALING JAYA: It will be business as usual for industry players as the state of Emergency declared by the King will have a minimal impact on the economy, with no curfew involved.

Economists and business leaders said the state of emergency nationwide would address the country’s ongoing political uncertainties amid the worsening Covid-19 crisis, rather than derail economic recovery and business operations.
