Group of Opposition lawmakers urge gov to review opening hours for eateries under MCO


KUALA LUMPUR: A group of 21 Opposition lawmakers have asked the Government to review its standard operating procedures (SOPs) to allow eateries to operate within normal hours as stated in their business licences during the current movement control order.

The 21 Pakatan Harapan, Warisan, Pejuang and Independent MPs said, in a joint statement Monday (Jan 18), that the operating hours should not be limited to 8pm, considering that dining-in was already prohibited and the sale of food was restricted to takeaways, drive-thru, or home delivery.
