Local authorities were proposed with several measures in order to increase their revenue collection after experiencing up to 10 percent fall since the Movement Control Order in March.

Housing and Local Government Minister, YB Zuraida Kamaruddin said one of the measures was to carry out “whitening” process against illegal traders.

She said the ministry would also consider the proposal to set up a One Stop Centre (OSC) to expedite the application of business licences in the hope of enabling the recovery of business activities.
