We urge the Perikatan Nasional government to allow all food and beverage outlets to operate as stated in their business license and not be limited to 8pm, considering that dining in is already prohibited and the sale of food is restricted to takeaway, drive-thru, or home delivery.
The current operating hours for food and beverage outlets make it difficult for those who need to buy food after working hours. Allowing traders to operate according to their business license will help revive their economy, generate income for food delivery riders, and encourage people to stay home as they can place orders from home without being limited to 8pm.
We urge the National Security Council (NSC) to immediately improve this SOP as it affects traders who can only depend on their daily wages for a living. In addition, we also urge the Government to extend the moratorium for at least another 6 months. Compared to MCO phase 1, traders may be even more badly affected now as they are forced to bear the payment of rent and workers’ salaries without a moratorium like before.
