The approval letter issued by the domestic trade ministry's secretary-general must first go through two ministers, says source. FMTNews MCO Covid19

Heineken had been given permission to remain open throughout the movement control period.

FMT has contacted Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi but has yet to receive a response.The letter to Heineken dated March 31 approving “limited operations” was signed by domestic trade and consumer affairs secretary-general Hasnol Zam Zam Ahmad, who said the brewery had met the criteria of a food supplier and could remain in operation during the MCO period.

“Technically, Heineken comes under the food and beverages category, but as it is not one of the essential services exempted from the current containment measures, it needs approval from Miti,” said a source. Yesterday, a PPBM Youth leader also questioned the move, saying thousands of halal businesses as well as small and medium-sized enterprises had been asked to remain closed during the MCO.
