Get Your Suppliers Registered on MITI’s CIMS 3.0 Database
Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) would like to urge all companies in Malaysia that have registered their details on COVID-19 Intelligent Management System (CIMS) 3.0 to encourage their list of suppliers to follow suit and get themselves registered on the system as soon as possible.
Their registration is pivotal to ensure the companies’ workers movement and operations are well-monitored by the authorities throughout the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) period. This is even more pertinent for companies operating in Targeted Enhanced Movement Control Order (TEMCO) areas as the authorities are highly dependent on CIMS 3.0 to verify the movement status for companies in question.
The registration will also include an Akujanji Pematuhan SOP where the companies are required to declare their commitment to adhere to the Standard Operating Procedures issued by the Government. Through the registration, the Government will be able to have real-time data of companies operating during the RMCO and number of workers involved.
MITI would like to thank all the companies that registered and we look forward to welcoming more companies onboard CIMS 3.0.
