KUALA LUMPUR (March 17): The Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) said it will temporarily cease operations nationwide during the Movement Control Order period from tomorrow until March 31.

SSM said during this period, all of its operations including over the counter services, online e-services, kiosk and customer call service centres will be closed.

“All transactions relating to the Companies Act 2016, Registration of Business Act 1956, as well as Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2012, will be granted a two-week moratorium period after the movement control order is lifted.”
