The question arises: What will happen to the workers, come Wednesday?
CORONAVIRUS | The two-week movement control order announced by the government last night to reduce the spread of Covid-19 has raised questions as to how this would impact the workforce.
The order, which is to take effect tomorrow, will see all non-essential government and private venues shut down, meaning most offices will be closed.
"What happens to the income of traders and the salaries of workers, will it be covered by the government?" former finance minister Lim Guan Eng asked on Facebook last night...
Think of the millions of shop owners who have to pay either rents or pay their monthly instalments to the banks, if they do not open for buisnesses. Can the govt. compensate any of this? To those who are not involved in the economic situation, they will not understand the problems. Those monthly income earners will never understand. Those who are financially secured will also will not understand.
