PETALING JAYA: Several groups representing shopping malls, retailers and other businesses want the Selangor Mentri Besar to adopt targeted lockdowns based on buildings instead of district or state-wide.
The groups are the Malaysia Shopping Malls Association, Malaysia Retailers Association, Malaysia Retail Chain Association, Bumiputra Retailers Organisation, Malaysia REIT Managers Association and the Malaysian Association of Theme Park and Family Attractions.
“We would like to reiterate that the enhanced movement control order is an appropriate tool to be imposed on critically infected and specific targeted areas instead of a blanket lockdown of the entire district and state.
“This sledgehammer approach unnecessarily harms and destroys lives and livelihoods in areas where the incidence of the pandemic is within control,” they said in an open letter to Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari yesterday.
