PETALING JAYA: While the Covid-19 virus may be blamed for the massive job losses following the closure of many businesses, various industry players opine that the government could have done more to reduce the blow.
Mohd Effendy Abdul Ghani, deputy president of the Malaysian Trades Union Congress, told theSun that the various lockdowns have undoubtedly caused this widespread job losses.
“The government must look at things with a ‘helicopter view’ and should not just implement a nationwide blanket lockdown because not all states are facing a surge of Covid-19 cases,” he added.
He pointed out that states such as Terengganu and Perlis are not facing massive numbers of infections and should not be punished with lockdowns.
