KUALA LUMPUR – SCGM Bhd’s wholly owned subsidiary Lee Soon Seng Plastic Industries (LSSPI) Sdn Bhd halted its production operations over the weekend after two of its workers tested positive for Covid-19.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the thermo-vacuum form plastic packaging manufacturer said a mass screening exercise has been carried out on all LSSPI employees, while hostel accommodations of Covid-19-positive workers have been segregated to mitigate the potential spread of the virus.
Besides enforcing mandatory quarantine measures, the company has undertaken a deep-cleaning exercise to sanitise its premises.
“LSSPI has also activated its secondary protocol, the SCGM Bhd Business Continuity Plan-Secondary Protocol Policy, by enabling support functions to work off-site to ensure continuity in its business operations.
“We are engaging closely with the Health Ministry on subsequent steps to be taken and will provide further updates upon its advice,” it said.
SCGM said LSSPI will resume operations today at a reduced capacity of 50% comprising automated machines as labour-intensive operations remain frozen pending further instruction. – Bernama, January 18, 2021
