KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Iron & Steel Industry Federation (MISIF) urges the government not to implement a full lockdown in the effort to fight the Covid-19 pandemic but instead impose stricter standard operating procedures (SOPs).
In a statement on Wednesday, MISIF -- which represents the whole value chain of the iron and steel products manufacturers – worried a full lockdown will severely impair the economic sectors.
