Some quarters may not be too chuffed about the reimplemented movement control order (MCO) having been extended, but the Perodua Suppliers Association (P2SA) isn’t one of them. The association believes that the move to extend the order – which is in effect until February 18 – will help protect the automotive industry as it continues to recover, Bernama reports.
According to its president Musa Zahidin Ahmad Zaidee, while the Covid-19 situation remains a concern for its 129 members, the MCO is expected to manage the situation until vaccinations begin. “Our main objective is to keep everyone safe and, at the same time, protect our livelihood. The only way to achieve that is to work with the government to lower the number of Covid-19 cases, especially in industrialised areas,” he said.
“Most of our members are located in Selangor, but by following the standard operating procedures (SOPs) laid out by the government and by effectively communicating between our members and original equipment manufacturers, we believe we will be able to perform better this year,” he added.
He said that P2SA and Perodua have been working together to create SOPs for its entire automotive ecosystem. “The SOPs include stringent safety procedures at the workplace, proper hostels that offer safe living conditions for employees and rotating Covid-19 tests for all employees,” he explained.

Yala, Miti allows automotive to open. Bolehlah you cakap macam tu.
I beg to differ as existence of cars has becoming less necessary as replace by internet, e-comm and Grabfood
Govt handling of covid pandemic since 2020 March… I give them 17 out of 100 at most. Planning & handling too messy and totally koyak for such a straighforward situation… Too many konfused common rakyat & many more konfused police & army officers at roadblock.
Kejap ketat, kejap longgar, kes covid melambung. Menteri2 sibuk politik, rakyat hidup susah, ekonomi lingkup, sape nak tanggung,
Can’t understand some of these recalcitrants.
Allowed to open, they complain covid case goes up.
Not allowed to open, they say unfair and susah cari makan.
Just let them shutdown permanently for good.
Can’t understand all of these towel heads take incompetence and lazy as good deeds.
Rakyat livelihoods not so affected by covid, but uncertain SOP and direction frm leaders.
It’s not what happens to you, but HOW you react to it that matters… Definitely not leadership pedigree them, enough is enough!
Can’t understand people never syukur for anything.
Govt do so much and sacrifice so much to keep everyone safe and healthy but people buat don’t care buat tak tau and when Covid infections goes up they blame Govt SOP.
Its not what happens to you but HOW it happened that matters… don’t blame our leaders when rakyat don’t use brains, our leaders have done the best. Enough is enough!
PKP hilang keje, takde income, putus makanan. SOP huru hara, apemau syukur..
Not true,

He not really explain how does MCO helps protect the auto industry, maybe his own suppliers industry by limiting the production output of their competitors (ie Proton).
