Miti will then check with the relevant ministries on the essential businesses and industries which have requested approval to operate during the lockdown (June 1 to 14), before issuing them with a letter to do so. Websites of ministries overseeing the bulk of essential businesses, such as the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP), were also inaccessible yesterday. With this one-stop centre under Miti, businesses and industries need not go to different ministries to apply for approval to operate, as was decided initially by the NSC last Sunday. “In line with the implementation of MCO Phase One, all approval letters issued by Miti prior to this will be considered invalid from June 1. Senior Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali said Miti is capable of issuing the new operating approval letters within a short time.
