SHAH ALAM (Bernama): The surge in Covid-19 cases in Selangor announced by the Health Ministry on Friday (Jan 29) was due to the backlog of cases from the screening at factories, prisons, clinics and private hospitals, that were not reported in real-time.

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 25): As fears of another national full-scale lockdown rise, the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) has called on the industry to play its part by taking additional proactive and preventive measures to tighten the existing standard operating procedures (SOPs) at workplaces and living quarters of employees in order to contain the current rapid spread of Covid-19.
If the transmission of the coronavirus is not urgently managed now, FMM warned that the business sector may not survive another strict lockdown as it will have a devastating impact on business survival and job security. The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) strongly believes that it is important for the current infections and clusters to be managed effectively so that the chain of infections (can) be broken swiftly as we, the business sector, cannot withstand another round of total lockdown similar to the Movement Control Order (MCO) in March 2020, its president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai
