KUALA LUMPUR – Most traders around Kuala Lumpur are closing their businesses early around 8pm due to the current spread of the Covid-19 virus.
The implementation of the conditional movement control order (CMCO) is causing the number of shoppers to decrease, causing many businesses to cease operations for good as most traders can no longer pay their employees' rent and salaries.
