PETALING JAYA: A coalition of trade and business associations has asked the government to consult them when they come up with standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Industries Unite said they were always willing and would find the time to engage with authorities to design practical procedures.
“It is very detrimental when SOPs come out and cause so much uncertainty and fear. Then we try to amend it, but the damage is done, ” said one of its members Tan Sri Teo Chiang Kok during a press conference on Wednesday (March 17).
Teo, who is also the president of the Malaysia Shopping Malls Association, said there were times when there was not enough consultation.
