Malaysia Retailers Association general manager Evelyn Cheong said Penang going into Phase Two will be good for the state’s economy after the prolonged closure. “Reopening retail outlets in phases will help the economy recover. “We are hoping for all the retail businesses to reopen as that will help the economy and those running these businesses,” Cheong added. While many rejoiced at the reopening of retail outlets, Cheong reminded everyone to focus on stringent compliance with the standard operating procedure to keep the virus at bay. Other activities allowed are shops selling computers, telecommunication devices and electrical appliances and car wash businesses.
