F&B Industry - Sidelined?

Following the extension of the Movement Control Order by another two weeks to April 14th, many industries are now questioning whether they will be able to survive this period of forced inactivity. The Food and Beverages sector has appealed for economic contingency plans to protect their livelihoods, as they cope with diminished sales on top of ongoing payment obligations. For more on this, we speak to Jennifer Ong, Founder and CEO of HAPA Group, about what kind of support is needed for the F&B sector, to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus.
