Dear Government,
There are more than 2000 nail salon owners and over 10,000 hardworking manicurists in Malaysia. Together we are appealing to our government to urgently reconsider removing Pedicure & Manicure services from the negative list and allow us to reopen in PHASE 2.
How are we high risk? Your decision is putting our livelihood in a shamble. How can we survive until phase 4?!
Nail cutting, cleaning and nail deformity correction are ESSENTIAL SERVICES. Our desperate customers are calling us nonstop. Many people are not able to care for their nails due to health and medical conditions and need to get their nails cut professionally.
Our fingernails and toenails are like little shields protecting our fingers and toes; not keeping our nails healthy makes the tissue beneath them vulnerable to infection via things that we come contact with. Proper nail care can prevent fungal infections, painful ingrown fingernails and toenails, and other nail and skin related diseases.
Medical doctors are also among our clienteles. They too, have to trim their nails short, clean and without sharp edges to ensure they do not hurt their patients accidentally.
There are elderly with Parkinson’s who need special care to cut their nails without getting hurt. We also cater to Diabetic patients who need special care to avoid risk of infection if they get into cuts from improper nail cutting.
Athletes who are active in sports also need to treat thick and painful calluses from friction and excessive training.
Yes! Nail cutting is an ESSENTIAL SERVICE.
Our job is a skilled profession and we cannot work from home. Thousands of us are losing our job and struggling to make ends meet, particularly single moms and young women.
We have been following very strict SOPs at the salon and will continue to do so. There has been NO CLUSTER from nail salons.
Try understanding our industry and you would see that we are not a HIGH-RISK industry! Phase 4 classification must be revised with consideration of all the above facts.
