Kids under 12 allowed in malls, eateries: Comms Ministry — Children under 12 and parents alike are expected to comply with the Covid-19 standard operating procedures when they visit malls or eateries, which they are allowed to do despite viral news that these children are barred from patronising retail premises. – The Vibes file pic, February 22, 2021

KUALA LUMPUR – News that has gone viral on social media regarding children under 12 years of age not being allowed to enter shopping malls or eateries is fake.

The Communications and Multimedia Ministry Quick Response Team in a statement today said the Kuantan police headquarters and its Covid-19 DCC Hotline denied releasing any statement or poster regarding the enforcement of such a regulation under the conditional movement control order (CMCO).

“Kuantan police clarified that children under 12 years of age are not encouraged, but still allowed to visit shopping malls or eateries on condition that they comply with the CMCO standard operating procedures issued by the National Security Council on February 19,” the statement read. – Bernama, February 22, 2021
