[Plastic]Malaysia announces that 30% of plastic recycling companies may close due to the country's lockdown

On the evening of March 16, Malaysia’s new Prime Minister Muhyiddin issued a televised speech stating that Malaysia will implement strict immigration control measures from March 18 to 31: prohibiting nationals from leaving the country and foreigners from entering the country.

From March 18th to 31st, Malaysia implemented gated community management across the country.

The whole country will also completely ban large gatherings including religious, sports, social and cultural activities.

Muhyiddin said that China has effectively controlled the spread of new coronary pneumonia, indicating that the epidemic is controllable.

The escalation of prevention and control measures shows that the Malaysian government attaches great importance to the epidemic and all the consequences and impacts brought about by it.

Recently, under the influence of the new crown epidemic, He Lianwei, president of the Malaysian Plastics Recycling Union (MPRA), accepted an exclusive interview with Nanyang Commercial Daily.

He Lianwei described that the plastic recycling industry has been nearly paralyzed by this sudden epidemic.

This wave of epidemic affects all walks of life, "Just like, if China imports plastic raw materials to my country, once its status as a world factory is affected, there may be a shortage of auto parts within minutes, and the entire automobile manufacturing will be paralyzed.

Domestic plastic recycling companies supply large amounts of plastic raw materials to China.

Under such circumstances, "closing the country" is a helpless move, and it is also imperative.
