PETALING JAYA: Operators of malls and retail outlets have made an impassioned plea to the government to allow them to reopen by July 15 or when the country’s 10% vaccination target is achieved.
They said given that the shopping mall and retail industry contributed significantly to the economy, all efforts had to be taken to preserve the performance of the sector.
