Malaysia in full lockdown from the 1st to 14th June 2021
The highly dynamic Asia-Pacific region is an important element in many supply chains, for sourcing, manufacturing and distribution, which means that potential disruption has to be carefully monitored and managed.
The ongoing pandemic continues to cause multiple operational and business disruptions to global supply chain operations, though these impacts can be mitigated with visibility tools that support micro inventory management to SKU level.
The Malaysian Prime Minister has announced a country-wide lockdown, resulting in the restriction of economic and social activities, with the exception of critical sectors and services that will be allowed to operate during the lockdown period, under Movement Control Order 3.0, which will be effective from the 1st to 14th June 2021.
There are 17 manufacturing and manufacturing-related services sectors that are allowed to operate under the Movement Control Order during the full lockdown:
- Food and beverage, including for animals
- Animal clinics and veterinary
- Water
- Energy
- Security and defence
- Waste management and public cleaning
- Land, air and water transport
- Docks, airports and transport related to cargo and commodities
- Communications, including media, telecommunications and internet services
- Banks, insurance, takaful and the capital markets
- Community credit, such as pawnshops
- eCommerce
- Fuel and lubricants
- Hotels for quarantine purposes only
- Construction and critical infrastructure works
- Forestry
Logistics and supply chain are operating under the Ministry of Transport.
Customs, sea ports and airports are operating, but delays should be expected, due to CVOID-safe SOPs, which slow operations.
Border customs at Johor/Singapore and Bukit Kayu Hitam/Thailand crossings are open with Strict SOP processes.
All sub-sectors of manufacturing are restricted, with the exception of aerospace (for components and maintenance, repair and overhaul), F&B, packaging and printing (related to the F&B or medical sector), cleaning products, as well as health and medical.
Manufacturing and MRS sectors are allowed to operate, to ensure minimal disruption to the supply chain of critical parts, components and finished products.
To date, all Noatum Malaysia employees and their families are safe.
