Azmin: Essential services in states under MCO must operate with strict SOP


PETALING JAYA: Economic sectors and essential services will continue to operate in all states under the movement control order (MCO) as these are the main drivers of the country's economy, says International Trade and Industry Minister (Miti) Datuk Seri Azmin Ali (pic).

He said the government had decided that the five essential economic sectors, including manufacturing, would not be halted to ensure that the recovery process for the economy was not affected and that the people would have all the basic and critical necessities throughout the MCO period.
