Shopping mall operators say business is slowly starting to pick up, now that the country is in the Recovery MCO phase.

The Malaysia Shopping Malls Association says malls are seeing an increase in visitors at their premises, after the sector saw 1.8 billion ringgit in lost sales during the period from March to May.

Meanwhile according to the Malay Mail, one mall operator says it expects the number of visitors to reach 75 to 85% of pre-MCO levels by the end of the year.
