This is a critical moment for all economies in the world. Many countries and cities undergo full or partial lockdown by making people stay at home and effectively banning mass gatherings of any form, including those in schools and workplaces.

This is also an opportunity to turn our business and work online. Businesses previously lagging behind in their transition to remote-working model will now have to think very carefully. It is either you reduce the need for workers to work at offices and make your work-from-home model as seamless as possible, or you risk shutting down business during the economic crisis.

Creativity as to how your business can thrive online, I would say sky is the limit. Mind you, fishermen selling their fresh catch and farmers harvesting their produce are also selling directly to customers who order and pay online.

As for my transcription work, I imagine I might one day be doing Chinese and English subtitling work for online food produce platform which gathers farmers, fishermen and sellers discussing about food-related business. A silver lining that I can think of, when my country Malaysia has extended Movement Control Order until April 14. Stay safe and healthy, my friends.

如今是全世界經濟體都受到考驗的非常時期。全球多個國家與城市宣佈進入全面或部份封鎖令,好讓民眾好好留在家裡,以免群眾聚集在學校和工作地點。

此時此刻,亦是我們將生意與工作模式轉戰線上的好時機。之前哪些公司行號若在遠距工作的進程上比較落後,現在就必須好好想清楚。這個時代的選擇就是閣下可以減少讓員工到公司上班的人數,同時盡可能讓居家辦公的模式變得愈加順暢,或者直接在經濟危機中直接關門大吉。

網上經營生意可以如何創意迸發,我想是毫無限制。值得一提的是,漁人捕獲海鮮、農友的當造收穫,都已經可以讓買家直接網上付款購買了。

至於我的謄寫工作,我則猜想有那麼一天,線上買賣食材的平台自己辦清談節目,讓農漁業與從事買賣的朋友暢談食材生意相關的話題,之後我幫他們寫中英文字幕。

期盼各位朋友快樂安康的當兒,這也算是我目前想得到的正面看法,因為馬來西亞將行動管制令延長至4月14日。
