As businesses were just beginning to recover from the destabilising effects of Covid-19, we are now in lockdown once again.

With the spike in Covid-19 cases in the country, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced on Jan 11 that a 14-day movement control order (MCO) will be imposed from today until Jan 26 for Sabah, Johor, Melaka, Selangor, Penang, and the federal territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan.
