When the first movement control order was implemented to curb the spread of Covid-19 last year, videographer Gregory Cheong lost his only source of income.

“My work depends on being able to go out and shoot videos. As long as I can carry a video cam and click it, then I can earn an income, ” he says. “But during the MCO, there was zero income because there were no events or weddings. People had started to ask for refunds and there were many cancellation of services, ” says the 41-year-old who lives in Petaling Jaya.
