PLUS extends aid to its EMCO-affected R&R traders

PLUS Malaysia Bhd is extending its three-month assistance (from August to October 2021) to lend a hand to its R&R traders, which will include a reduction in monthly rental to all of its stalls and temporary business operators.

From the programme, all traders in the North and South-bound Gelang Patah Rest and Service Areas (R&R) will receive full monthly rental waivers, considering the temporary closure of the Malaysia-Singapore border.

PLUS also provided a two-week waiver on the monthly rental to R&R business operators who are affected by the enhanced movement control order (EMCO) in Selangor.

Apart from that, the company is also looking into payment plans, which might include waivers of late payment charges, to continuously help the R&R business operators.

The same assistance has also been extended to the R&R business operators based at Lebuhraya Pantai Timur 2 (LPT2) in Terengganu.

“PLUS has consistently been assisting our R&R business operators since the first MCO in March 2020. To help our business operators adapt to disruption brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have provided online training as well to equip them in using technology for their business in the new norms,” said PLUS head of strategic stakeholder engagement Syed Mohammed Idid. – July 9, 2021
