The move should not be seen as a “punishment” but as a way to protect the people from a health threat that could batter the economy, said sales and marketing manager Khairul Affendi Mohd Ali.
Chan: ‘This is a crucial time for us. I am confident we will able to recover from this crisis with the measures embarked.’
“A rise in cases could directly or indirectly cripple our economy because the people won’t be able to be as productive if they are infected.

MELAKA: Shoplifters in the state are on the rise in the state, and it has nothing to do with the Covid-19 affected economy.

From our findings, those detained were found not facing any financial difficulties, but seem to do it for thrills and have an addiction to stealing, he said in an interview on Friday (Dec 18).
ACP Sukri said that 43 of such incidents were reported between March to Dec 15.
