An interesting article about Penang.
Toyota and Honda have temporarily stopped production at their Malaysian factories as the government imposes a total lockdown in response to soaring numbers of COVID-19 cases, Reuters said.
Under strong criticism for not doing enough to arrest the crisis, the government has ordered what it describes as a “total lockdown” from 1 June to 14 June. This means large swaths of the manufacturing sector must shut down, though some manufacturers are exempted.
According to Reuters, a Toyota spokesperson said the firm will suspend sales and production in Malaysia from today (Tuesday) onwards, noting that the firm hasn’t decided when to resume production. A spokesperson for Daihatsu Motor, a Toyota subsidiary, said the company will also stop production during the total lockdown period.
Last year, Toyota made 51,000 vehicles in Malaysia, while Daihatsu Motor churned out about 220,000 vehicles.
A Honda representative indicated that the company will temporarily shut two factories during the lockdown period, but expects them to restart production from 15 June. Those factories produce approximately 100,000 cars and 300,000 motorcycles per year.
Given the situation, 15 June may be a rather optimistic date. Manufacturers may want to take a leaf from Sony, which is making a rapid shift to unmanned production at its Malaysian factory.
Relatedly, Toyota and Honda are certainly not the only companies facing production disruptions because of COVID-19. For example, Foxconn factories in India and Vietnam have been adversely affected by outbreaks in those countries.

An informative article about Penang Malaysia.
We have read so much news about businesses that had no choice but to cease their operations since the Covid-19 pandemic hit this country. The third wave has especially hit hard for some of them. The same goes for this 63-year-old shoe shop in Penang called Hong Kong Shoe Store.
Being one of the oldest businesses in Penang, this 63-year-old shoe store is very well-known among Penangites. This shop was established by Sung Choy in 1958 after learning with an experienced and skilled shoemaker in Klang. Also, did you know? This shop is where the famous shoe designer, Datuk Jimmy Choo apprenticed.
Tucked in Kimberley Street, this shop won gold status under cultural continuity recognition of GTWHI Heritage and Awards 2020 last year aside from Kwongtuck. According to Wong Heng Mun, the second-generation bespoke shoemaker and owner, his father had worked at many other shoe shops to acquired shoemaking skills including in Singapore and Penang before settling down.
Wong added, during his and Choo apprentice period with his father in the 1960s, they were visited by the middle class to even members of royalty from other states. Mastering the skill at the age of 16, Wong started working full time at the already famous shoe store.
However, the store has missed the existence of its customers since Movement Control Order (MCO) back in 2020. Wong told orders would pile up especially during festive seasons. Now, instead of filling up orders, he has been occupying most of his time on his smartphone. Occasionally, repairs his regular’s shoes. Paying rent has also been difficult since then.
Moreover, the interstate travel restriction was the cause of business to drop to zero for months as most of his customers are from Kedah and Perak. He often got orders for the disabled or orthopaedic shoes from these two states. As the nature of his business requires him to obtain the correct measurements of customers’ feet, going online is nearly impossible.
As the number of Covid-19 cases is drastically increasing, there is no more green zone in Peninsular Malaysia. Today we have recorded the highest daily cases yet again. Make sure to abide by the SOPs as it has become our responsibility to take care of one another in this fight. Stay safe!

An interesting article on Penang.
Aside from having premises that are listed by the HIDE system to be closed immediately, the government has also decided to ban all interstate and inter-district movements throughout the country. The decision was announced by the Senior Minister for Defence, Ismail Sabri Yaakob earlier today.
The new directive will be enforced throughout the country starting from this coming Monday, 10 May 2021 and will last for the next four weeks until Sunday, 6 June 2021. This is regardless of whether the area is within the Movement Control Order (MCO), Enhanced MCO (EMCO), Conditional MCO (CMCO), or Recovery MCO (RMCO) zones.
An exception will only be given to those that have received approvals from the police. However, the minister didn’t provide any details regarding activities that can be greenlighted by the police.
That being said, Minister Ismail did say that all social, education, and economic activities that can cause mass gatherings or public congestions will be prohibited starting from this Monday as well. The same restriction also applies to all official and social events as well as face-to-face activities within the government and private sector.
Even though these restrictions will last until early June, they will be reviewed again by the authorities after two weeks according to the minister. Given that there are so many things that are still very unclear about the new directive, we expect further clarifications to be announced tomorrow. So, stay tuned.
