CYBERJAYA, Aug 30 (Bernama) — The Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) is committed to assist the industry through the challenge of recovering from the two months halt to operate due to the lockdown. The recent announcement to reopen key economic sectors is an important relief for the industry, but should be administered with utmost caution as we are still battling with the pandemic and protecting the lives of Malaysians.
It is clear that vaccination is an important agenda for the continuation of the industry to operate, and a high level of vaccination would significantly reduce the need for further full lockdowns in the future. MARii urges business owners to contact the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to discuss options for inoculating their workers through the Public-Private Partnership Industrial Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PIKAS).
