A.1.2.2 The year 2020 has evidenced a significant impact on the IEEE Malaysia Section when the Covid-19 pandemic hits Malaysia and the government has announced the movement control order across the country. Most of the activities that initially run in the face-to-face mode required changes to virtual meeting mode.
