Saving SMEs & Retailers

Close to a third of small retail businesses have “collapsed” in the three weeks since the start of MCO 2.0. More are likely to fold even if retailers are allowed to re-open as of today. Datuk Wira Ameer Ali Mydin, Vice President of the Malaysia Retail Association, and Datuk Michael Kang, President of the SME Association of Malaysia, detail the challenges faced by their members and what they need from the government.
