KUALA LUMPUR: With employers encouraging work-from-home arrangements in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, retailers are seeing more electronic items flying off the shelves as Malaysians upgrade their home-office setup.

Interviews with staff members at Plaza Low Yat, a mall which specialises in electronics and gadgets, showed that more Malaysians were buying equipment that would make for a conducive work environment at home.

A shop assistant, who wanted to be known only as Chan, said more people were making purchases of webcams, flash drives and headsets.
