KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 (Bernama) — The spread of the COVID-19 virus has impacted almost all industries globally. The electrical and electronics (E&E) sector is no exception with many organisations not being able to operate at full capacity due to workforce and supply chain disruptions.
Nevertheless, with containment measures likely easing in the second half of 2020, the local economic activity is expected to pick up and gradually improve, more so if the domestic movement control order (MCO) is lifted. The E&E industry has been identified as a key sector that will assume a critical role in structural reforms as the economy moves towards the recovery and regrowth stage, with the Malaysian government emphasising on digital transformation.
