Barely a day after announcing that business operation and travel permits approved by MITI earlier will be cancelled after 31-May 2021, and that businesses and staff from essential economic and services sector will have to re-apply for new permits with the relevant ministries, the Malaysian government now says that MITI will once again issue all permits.
This comes after an announcement by the National Security Council (NSC) saying that the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), will serve as a one-stop centre for permit approvals.
“In line with the implementation of the movement control order Phase One, all approval letters issued by Miti prior to this will be considered revoked from June 1.
“The NSC decided today (Monday, May 31) to set up a one-stop centre manned by Miti to issue approval letters upon confirmation from ministries which monitor those sectors.
“New applications for work-related travel must now be resubmitted to the Covid-19 Intelligent Management System (CIMS) 3.0 which will be manned by Miti and involve all the ministries in charge of monitoring the 17 essential services sector, ” the NSC said on Monday evening.
Separately, MITI has announced an updated list of approved essential economic and services sectors.
It also adds that companies that have already been registered under MITI’s CIMS 3.0 do not need to re-apply again, and they can download the new permits starting 8 pm 31-May 2021.
Businesses in Malaysia started the week with great confusion. Many businesses weren’t too sure out which ministry is their business parked under.

Car workshops and dealers with operating after-sales services for example, didn’t know how to apply for the new permits until around 12.30 pm today.
Earlier efforts to contact the KPDNHEP (Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs) for instructions on how to apply for the business permits were met with negative answers, as the ministry itself hasn’t even setup a process for business owners to apply for their permits.
It was only by around half past noon that KPDNHEP shared a link to a Google Forms (yes, not kidding you) on their Twitter account, for business owners to fill up.
At point of publishing, MITI’s CIMS 3.0 is still unstable, often crashing.
