The Temporary Measures for Reducing the Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Bill was passed by the Dewan Negara on 22 September 2020 and will come into force once Royal Assent is received and it is gazetted. The COVID Bill is part of the measures taken by the Malaysian Government to stem the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. The temporary measures can be broadly divided into three categories:
-
Addressing the inability to perform contractual obligation – Part II
-
Modification to Malaysian legislation – Part III to Part XVIII
-
Addressing the inability to perform statutory duties or obligations or to conduct statutory meetings – Part XIX
This article will highlight some of the key areas of the COVID Bill and discusses the temporary measures to be introduced to help reduce the impact of COVID-19.
