PETALING JAYA: Certain sectors are being allowed to operate during the movement control order because the Finance Ministry wants to ensure there is supply chain continuity for essential products and services, as well as for the wellbeing of the public.

While noting there is a need to contain the Covid-19 pandemic efficiently, the Finance Ministry said there was also a need to prevent any disruption to the manufacturing value chain.
