PUTRAJAYA (May 31): The Ministry of Transport (MoT) will issue new approval letters to allow companies registered under the SMILE system to operate during the first phase of the total lockdown from tomorrow as the previous approval letters are null and void. The MoT, in a statement today, said the new approval letters are now available for download at https://application.mot.gov.my/. The SMILE system (Sistem Maklumat Industri Logistik) is reserved for logistics and commercial transportation sector companies, which include air and maritime transportation, courier services and warehousing during the movement control order (MCO) period. For public transportation, the MoT said all operators of land and sea public transportation are allowed to operate at 50% of passenger capacity. Vehicle workshops and tyre shops, which are not under the ministry’s purview but related to the transport and logistics sectors, are also allowed to operate, it added.
