Restaurant owners boiling mad with Miti - superadmin - 06-07-2021 PETALING JAYA: Restaurateurs and food suppliers are boiling mad over the confusion on businesses regarded as essential services, and with the process of obtaining approval from the international trade and industry ministry (Miti).

Richard Nah, who supplies fruits to wholesalers in Selayang and most major supermarkets in the Klang Valley, said he had yet to receive approval from Miti despite directly being in the food supply chain. He questioned how approvals under Miti are made considering certain essential businesses were granted approvals and others were not, despite falling under the same sector. - More -
