Mechanical, electrical sector at breaking point

Malaysia Council of Mechanical and Electrical Association: "Without safety and maintenance works being carried out, many essential plants, facilities and buildings will suffer power failures, false alarms and breakdown of the building M&E services."

KUALA LUMPUR: The mechanical and electrical (M&E) sector is now at the "breaking point", as the manufacturing-related, supply chain and maintenance segments have not been allowed to operate, said the Malaysia Council of Mechanical and Electrical Association (MCMEA).

Chairman Michelle Hah said although some of the association’s members belong to the critical support and essential services group, they have not been able to obtain approvals to operate since June 1.
