PETALING JAYA: Iron and steel hardware dealers, stockists and wholesalers should be allowed to operate during the lockdown period, says the Federation of Malaysia Hardware, Machinery & Building Materials Dealers’ Association (FMHMBA).

President Datuk Eric Koh said more than 80% of the association's 3,000 members nationwide are small and medium enterprises and have been badly affected since the first movement control order last year.

"However, we urge the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry to allow iron and steel hardware dealers, stockists and wholesalers to continue supporting all other essential sectors during the extended lockdown period with reduced workers at site of not more than 60% and 40% work from home," he said in a statement on Saturday .

"During the extended lockdown period, many non-essential sectors have ceased operations hence business transactions are very limited. He also urged the government to provide proper guidance and instructions on the implementation of standard operating procedures for businesses during the lockdown."We feel that the government has the responsibility to guide and assist business through the relevant agencies to comply with the SOP rather than immediately penalising business owners," he said.
