Freight forwarders cry foul over contradictory instructions

Freight forwarders are calling for clarity because their members are facing inconsistent enforcement efforts by the authorities.

In a statement today, the Federation of Malaysian Freight Forwarders (FMFF) said the government should clarify if logistics services are considered "essential services".

FMFF president Alvin Chua said there are contradictory instructions by different government ministries, leading to confusion by the transport and warehouse service providers as well as different interpretations of these instructions by enforcement agencies.
