PETALING JAYA: While essential industries are allowed to operate, “non-essential” industries in the same supply chain that feed into them or from them are asking for the same leeway.
Their rationale, supported by the essential industries, is that there is a need to procure goods to allow the companies permitted to operate to function, as disruptions in getting raw materials and semi-furnished goods can spell trouble for even the essential industry companies.

PETALING JAYA: It is more important for businesses to get appropriate and timely approval as essential services rather than the number which get it, say shopping mall owners and retailers.
In a joint statement, the Shopping Malls Association, Malaysia Retailers Association, Malaysia Retail Chain Association and Bumiputra Retailers Organisation said that the recent controversy over the number of businesses that have been issued approval letters was not the issue.
They said that the government must ensure that all essential service businesses and their chain of supporting activities have their operating approvals expedited in order to save livelihoods . The sole criterion is whether those allowed to operate have correctly and expeditiously been issued with the requisite permits to do so. The absolute number is irrelevant, said the associations in a statement on Sunday (June 6).
