PETALING JAYA: Stop work orders have been issued to 1% of restarted construction sites following inspections by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), says Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

He said the CIDB had been inspecting constructions sites around the country since the MCO’s standard operating procedure (SOP) came into force in April.
