FMM: Two-week lockdown extension could devastate industries


PETALING JAYA: The two-week extension to the current lockdown will have a devastating impact on industries if there are no changes to operating conditions, says the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM).

The FMM said that the extension will cripple the manufacturing sector and its contributions to global supply chains as under the current conditions, almost 80% of all businesses fall into non-essential sectors that are not allowed to operate.
