Kangar Municipal Council (MPK) has decided to postpone the reopening of night and daily markets throughout the state to a later date.
According to a statement issued by MPK yesterday, the postponement was made as part of efforts to ensure that the reopening of such businesses could be carried out in full compliance with the standard operating procedures (SOPs) issued by the National Security Council (NSC).
MPK is in the midst of fine-tuning the methods pertaining to the reopening of night and daily markets to comply with the SOPs, it said.
The statement also said that MPK is planning to set up regulated hawker bazaars or Bazaar Penjaja Terkawal (BPT) at selected locations and the matter will be announced soon.
Recently, Senior Minister (security cluster) Ismail Sabri Yaakob said that all morning and night markets as well as bazaars nationwide will be allowed to resume operations from Monday, subject to the SOPs set by the Health Ministry.
Several states, namely, Johor, Perak, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, have also announced that they will allow night and morning markets to resume operations in stages beginning this Monday, by adhering to the SOPs.
