KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 — The mechanical and electrical (M&E) sector is now at the ”breaking point”, as the manufacturing-related, supply chain and maintenance segments have not been allowed to operate, said the Malaysia Council of Mechanical and Electrical Association (MCMEA).


Chairman Michelle Hah said although some of the association’s members belong to the critical support and essential services group, they have not been able to obtain approvals to operate since June 1.

She said these members supply essential industrial electrical replacement peripherals and equipment that are critical to the continuity of electrical supply to all industries, factories, sewerage and water treatment plants and essential buildings such as hospitals and others.

While M&E services members (consisting of contractors, services engineers, integrators, maintenance personnel and competent personnel) are required to attend to critical safety and crucial maintenance work, many were rejected by the Covid-19 Intelligent Management System (CIMS) 3.0.
