According to The Star, it is reported that all economic sectors will be opened, including retail. This is because the current MCO has affected small businesses and SMEs more severely than the previous lockdown.

“The ministries in charge of businesses have given their input and stated that many small businesses, which comprise a major part of the Malaysian economy, cannot continue as it is without some kind of breathing space, ” said a source.

However, another source cited that the National Security Council (NSC) has yet to discuss whether to implement stricter SOP in the economic sector.
