Malay Mail : Selangor postpones this weekend’s ‘Mega Job Fair 2020’ over Covid-19 concerns

SHAH ALAM, Oct 1 — The Selangor government has postponed the ‘Mega Job Fair 2020’ programme, scheduled to take place this weekend at the Shah Alam Convention Centre (SACC), to a date to be determined later.

State Youth, Sports and Human Capital Development Committee chairman Mohd Khairuddin Othman said the postponement was due to the increase in Selangor’s Covid-19 tally to 2,007 cases including 13 new ones.

“The ‘Selangor Mega Job Fair 2020’ planned for Saturday and Sunday had received 8,150 online registrations.
