Allow textile industry manufacturers, retailers to operate in Phase Two of NRP, govt urged


PETALING JAYA: The government should allow the manufacturers and retailers of the fashion, textile and apparel sectors to operate in Phase Two of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) as the industry is losing about RM163mil per day, says the Federation of Malaysian Fashion, Textile and Apparel.

Its president Datuk Seri Tan Thian Poh said they are deeply concerned by the current situation as they might only be allowed to operate when the country reaches Phase Three of the NRP.
