Chow said the state is working with NGOs that are assisting these communities such as Persatuan Komuniti Berdikari, Penang Stop Human Trafficking Campaign, ASPIRE Penang, Malaysian Relief Agency, Doctors Without Borders, Caremongers Penang and Penang Working Group. He said FMM has given their feedback that all migrant workers were instructed to adhere to the MCO and that public safety and health measures such as social distancing are practised in essential services factories.
Chow noted that as of now, employers have continued to pay the salaries of their migrant workers despite complaints from employers, particularly the small-medium enterprises, on the additional financial burden faced due to the extension of the MCO. The centres are in Caring Society Complex and Dewan Kompleks Pasar Awam Balik Pulau on the island, the Pejabat Persatuan Bomba dan Sukarela Raja Uda in North Seberang Perai, Dewan JKR Taman Bukit Kecil, Bukit Mertajam in Central Seberang Perai and Dewan MPKK Bukit Panchor, Nibong Tebal in South Seberang Perai.
