The Government will strive to reduce the business sector's burden through the Malaysian Economic and Rakyat's Protection Assistance Package (Permai).

The Government will extend the current Prihatin Special Grant Plus assistance to include 500,000 SMEs in the MCO states.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced a new assistance package called Perlindungan Ekonomi dan Rakyat Malaysia (PERMAI).

If a person is confirmed as COVID-19 positive and told to home quarantine cannot leave their residence and must be contactable at any time.

Malaysia has entered a state of emergency and it will last until Aug 1, 2021. It could also end earlier, depending on the state of coronavirus infections.

The Human Resources Minister also announced that employers must provide quarantine centres to isolate their foreign workers who contracted COVID-19.

Human Resources Minister said that his ministry lamented that there were still organisations that failed to make reports on their employees who tested positive for the disease.

These amendments will improve the protection of workers' rights in Malaysia.

Meetings have increasingly become a source of frustration and annoyance to many knowledge workers across all industries.
