Timber sector suffers RM60m loss a day due to shutdown, says ministry

BANTING, Aug 3 — The Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities estimates that the timber sector has suffered a loss of RM60 million a day as it was not able to operate for two months following the implementation of the National Recovery Plan .

“All this is disrupted due to the plan we have now and we have to persevere to ensure the people do not face a worse Covid-19 outbreak,” he told reporters after visiting the Malaysian Timber Council Industrial Vaccination Centre in Olak Lempit under the Vaccination Programme for the Agri-Commodity Sector .

“Demand is very high because at the initial stage we expected only 8,000 but demand reached 10,000 requests and this programme we will continue until September — for the first dose until mid-August and the second dose will end on September 18, 2021. Mohd Khairuddin said for companies under the agri-commodity sector, applications to participate in Vacoms can be made through MPIC if the company has at least 1,000 employees or merges with other companies to cover the number.
