Can state governments overstep Putrajaya and close factories for fear of workplace clusters?

KUALA LUMPUR, July 19 — Factories in the Klang Valley allowed to operate during Phase One of the National Recovery Plan have come under close scrutiny by members of the public who blame them for the continued rise in Covid-19 cases.

“There are some unofficial discussions between my office and other state assemblymen and councillors,” she said. However, Jamaliah said that no official plans have been made to implement the ideas, as meetings are difficult with travel restrictions and the state legislative assembly prohibited from meeting under the ongoing National Recovery Plan.

Explaining the matter further, lawyer Syahredzan Johan recently said that the laws at the crux of the matter were the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 and the Local Government Act 1976 . “By-laws made by local authorities should not be contradictory with Act 342. If according to Act 342 certain types of factories can operate, then local authority by-laws cannot ‘overrule’ Act 342,” added Syahredzan.
