Malaysia restrictions to hit Aztech Global production

Aztech Global said its production output will be reduced by 30% for two weeks.

Aztech Global's production output will be slashed by a third in the coming two weeks.

In a press statement, the tech company said its production output will be slashed by 30% for two weeks due to tighter movement restrictions in Malaysia.

Malaysia implemented a nationwide movement control order from May 12 to June 6 to curb the spread of COVID-19. Additional rules implemented on May 22 included a stricter mandatory 40% work-from-home employee policy for the private sector until June 7.

Malaysia accounts for 20% of Azteh Global's production output. The remaining 80% of its output comes from a plant in China, which continues to operate at normal capacity.

Aztech Global added that its operations in Singapore, Hong Kong and Shen Zhen are not affected by the latest resurgence of the pandemic.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
