PETALING JAYA: Employees of Utusan Melayu (Malaysia) Berhad were told to pack up their belongings and leave the office by 1pm on Wednesday (Oct 9) as the cash-strapped company officially ceases operations.

Executive chairman Datuk Abd Aziz Sheikh Fadzir said poor cash flow, mounting debts and declining sales led to its board of directors on Monday in approving the Creditor's Voluntary Liquidation proposal and appointing UHY Advisory Sdn Bhd as interim liquidator.

While the workers' last date of service is on Oct 31, they have until 1pm today to clean their work stations, pack up and return all company property including access cards and office keys. Among the steps taken were to offer the Voluntary Separation Scheme which saw more than 700 workers being let go, he said.
