Owner isn’t applying for government aid so that those who need cash urgently can get it. FMTNews MCO Covid19

PETALING JAYA: Mohd Osman Abdul Wahab and his mechanics are busy repairing five motorcycles. They’re racing against the clock to finish before 2pm.

Outside, huge Hi-Rev garden umbrellas ward off some of the sun, and customers wait under them, sharing the shade with motorbikes spilling over from the workshop. The noise of the air compressor means that masks have to be pulled down so people can lip read each other. Whenever the engine briefly falls silent, a tinny radio can he heard playing pop music.

“Our customers now are mostly food delivery riders and other frontline essential workers like policemen and soldiers. I estimate business is down by 60%.”Despite this, cutting the salaries of any of his workers is the last thing on Osman’s mind. He is determined that his workforce will always be paid as if times were normal.
