MTUC chides Putrajaya for forcing state govts to abide by CMCO
BY R. LOHESWAR
MTUC secretary-general J. Solomon in a statement today said that the state governments are more aware of the situation on the ground and should be given the trust to decide when and how to allow businesses to resume. On Monday, International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said that state governments may face legal action from corporations if they refuse to follow the CMCO.
Solomon, however, brought up Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow’s revelation that Azmin had agreed to a follow-up meeting on April 30, but that did not materialise.“Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow revealed that Azmin had agreed to a follow-up meeting on April 30 to discuss new guidelines for specific industries but the meeting did not take place,” said Solomon adding that such a meeting could easily be minuted for the sake of transparency.
Putrajaya has come under heavy pressure to restart the economy after implementing the MCO on March 18. It said the country had incurred losses of up to RM2.4 billion per day since the MCO was enforced.
