WITH the movement control order now in effect in five states and the Federal Territories, and economic activities necessarily halted to flatten the Covid-19 curve, the economy will surely take another hit. The proclamation of a state of emergency shortly after the announcement of the MCO further caught many Malaysians off guard. The current unpredictable Covid-19 situation and political atmosphere in Malaysia add up to an uncertain start to 2021.
