Malaysia will go into a total nationwide lockdown for all social and economic sectors from next Tuesday (June 1) to June 14.
Only essential economic sectors and services will be allowed to operate during the movement control order (RMCO).
This month has seen the country continue to record new highs in Covid-19 infections and deaths, despite putting in place three weeks of moderate restrictions under the movement control order (MCO).
Expect delays from made-to-order retailers
Malaysia's lockdown has big impacts on the Singapore retail industry, which includes electronics, textiles, furniture, raw materials and more.
All retailers are preparing for delays of goods as movement across states are restricted and factories are not in operation or at half-capacity.
The impact is evident as local carpenters are fully booked up amid the surge in demand for made-to-measure furniture.
In anticipation, Picket&Rail has an inventory of ready stock of our best-selling furniture such as sofas, beds, dining sets, home office, mattresses and more. Take advantage of The Great Singapore Sale happening in store now!
