Nearly all architect firms accrued outstanding fees equivalent to six to 12 months' salaries, says the professional body.

Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia has called for further immediate cash flow measures to support struggling professional services firms to tide over Covid-19 and the movement control order .

This is because professional services firms employ mostly professional and technical staff with entry-level salaries at or just above the RM4,000 ceiling specified in the Prihatin package. Almost all architect firms are already burdened by accrued outstanding fees equivalent to six to 12 months of their total salaries, PAM said in a statement.

"As construction works are suspended during the MCO period and re-commencement will need to be staged progressively to adhere to the COVID-19 health safety requirements, time is needed for the supply chain to remobilise.
