Federation of Manufacturers Malaysia (FMM) president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai.
PETALING JAYA: Industry players have voiced their support for the government’s intention to tighten the standard operating procedure for high-risk sectors under the extension of the current movement control order.
The extension is necessary to reduce the number of Covid-19 cases as new infections are still alarmingly high, said Federation of Manufacturers Malaysia (FMM) president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai.
“The industry is cognisant of the overall clusters that have been reported lately, including those from the manufacturing sector.
“This is indeed very concerning but at the same time must be recognised that most of the clusters involving the manufacturing sector have stemmed from the targeted screening of foreign workers and not as a result of infections that have occurred directly at the workplace, ” he said.
