In the field of construction, contractors and other parties involved in construction projects in Malaysia are struggling with problems caused by factory closures in other countries and restrictions in the movement of staff and labour. To curb and control the outbreak the government implemented a Movement Control Order (“MCO”) on 16 March 2020 and it was replaced with another Conditional Movement Control Order (“CMCO”) which was further extended to 9 June 2020. The Government thereafter announced the Recovery Movement Control Coder (“RMCO”) to be effective from 10 June 2020 to 31 August 2020. -

Food access is no longer an issue for most Malaysians, due to better storage systems and distribution arrangements. However, food affordability has still proven to be a significant problem for many. Certain food items, such as beef and milk, have experienced apparent price anomalies. Furthermore, most major food imports have been subject to government regulations which have resulted in oligopolies/oligopsonies and related price setting.
