On May 1 MITI published these notices to their Facebook page. Please read all carefully.
We would like to highlight to our member companies that in obtaining approval to operate during the Movement Control Order (MCO) companies were asked to agree to comply with the Government-set SOPs. Similarly, in registering company details during the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO), companies are required to sign an “Aku Janji” / “Undertaking” with the Malaysian government. We encourage for this legal document to be reviewed by your respective legal departments so that your company is fully aware of its responsibilities to be in compliance with the SOPs.
If you have not already received approval to operate, you have until May 12 to register at notification.miti.gov.my. If you have already received approval, there is no need to register again. |
