Hardware, laundry, electrical and electronics shops now allowed to operate

Three additional sub-sectors under the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP) are allowed to operate during the third phase of the Movement Control Order (MCO), said Minister Datuk Alexander Nanta Linggi.

The three sub-sectors are hardware shops, electrical and electronics shops (excluding telecommunications equipment as well as ICT equipment shops) and laundry shops (full service), he said.

Nanta said all applications for the operation of the additional sub-sectors should be submitted to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) via online at www.miti.gov.my/https://application.miti.gov.my.

"Only complete applications that meet the requirements of the standard operating procedure (SOP) will be considered.

"Applications received other than through the portal will not be processed," he said in a statement today.

Nanta said companies under the additional sub-sectors that wish to apply should ensure that their operating locations are not in the red and yellow zones or being placed under the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO).
