MEF says more than 650,000 employers, mostly in small business, have difficulty in paying wages.

MEF executive director Shamsuddin Bardan said small businesses with fewer than five workers were finding it tough to pay their workers’ salaries because of the national shutdown under the movement control order.“It would be good to allow companies to operate again… not at 100% but in stages. For example, one third first, then if successful, increase it to 50% and so on,” he said in an interview with Bernama TV yesterday.
