PETALING JAYA: After months of business disruptions and operating at reduced capacity, businesses in Malaysia are finding it harder to stay afloat if Covid-19 restrictions are prolonged. “The majority of business sectors are based in the Greater Klang Valley, which is still seeing daily cases above 10,000 and currently categorised as in phase one. “In addition, all other sectors should also be allowed to have a higher manpower capacity based on the fully vaccinated rate at the company level,” according to Soh. “Regardless of the NPR phases they are in, the government should allow companies to increase capacity if a high percentage of their workforce are fully vaccinated. In assisting businesses to reopen, following prolonged business closures, Wong urged the government to extend additional help to all industry players, regardless of their sizes.
