SEREMBAN – Ramadan bazaars in the state found to have violated standard operating procedures (SOPs) set to curb the Covid-19 outbreak will face a three-day closure, said Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.
Aminuddin said it is a reminder to all quarters, including bazaar operators and members of the public, to comply with the SOPs and avoid the emergence of a new Covid-19 cluster.
“I was informed that there was a problem at a Ramadan bazaar in Nilai near here, but I asked the mayor to call and warn all bazaar operators to comply with the SOPs.
“We also leave it to the authorities to take other actions, including issuing compounds, if they (bazaar operators) still disobey the directive,” he told reporters after attending the social integration and outreach programme “Rujukan Raya Tanpa Covid – Jom Shopping Raya” here today.
Aminuddin urged members of the public not to flout the SOPs to ensure this economic activity may continue to be held as usual.
