57 business chambers in Malaysia say 'critical' to resume operations amid reopening debate

KUALA LUMPUR - A total of 57 chambers of commerce and industry associations in Malaysia said it was"critical for businesses to resume operations nationwide", as they took an opposite stance to nine states that initially rebuffed the federal government's call to reopen most businesses from Monday .

The joint statement reflected the painful debate in Malaysia, and around the world, over how soon and how much to reopen economies that have been flattened by the virus. The government has said that Malaysia, South-east Asia's third biggest economy, is in the"recovery phase"of the outbreak. The nine states included opposition pro-Pakatan Harapan states Kedah, Penang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Sabah.

Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, waded into the fray on Tuesday, said the states were not consulted about the more relaxed MCO.
