Malaysia has entered a state of emergency. Several states and the Federal Territories are also, effective today, back under the Movement Control Order (MCO). Now that we’ve had some time to let the news sink in, we speak to various business owners about the potential impact of these new lockdown measures, and what they feel they will need to push through these next few months.
