KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 8 — The Malaysian Employers Federation has asked the government to allow businesses within the states to resume operations with strict compliance to the standard operating procedures while the movement control order restrictions on interstate travel remain enforced.
“Therefore, we urge the authorities to allow all non-essential sectors to open, including sports, barber shops and salons, but excluding the night entertainment industry. And those who have received two doses of the vaccines should be rewarded by allowing them to dine-in at restaurants,” he said in a statement today.
“The National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme has done well to encourage the public to be inoculated but this does not mean those vaccinated cannot be infected.
The stupid thing Malaysia did was keep the country border's open, while restricting inter-state travel. With poor contact tracing, God knows how many cases were brought in by international travellers.
All business owners and staff must be fully vaccinated. No 2 ways about this. Esp f & b outlets if we are going to allow dine-in.
*cackles* keeping borders closed? It's supposed to be but how did delta come here otherwise?
