Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob
KUALA LUMPUR: Nine business premises were advised to comply with the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) standard operating procedures (SOPs) Saturday, Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said.
He said another 1,359 were found to be obeying the set SOPs during inspections carried out by the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP) enforcement teams.
“The government is urging business operators and the general public to always practise social distancing and observe personal hygiene during the RMCO, especially during sales and purchase activities,” he said in a statement yesterday.
He said KPDNHEP enforcement teams had also monitored 25 items at 845 business premises, including retailers (639 premises), wholesalers (175) and producers (31) Saturday.
From these checks, the teams found that there is enough supply of essential items to meet the nation’s consumer needs.
Ismail Sabri said the Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Ministry is also doing its own checks and has so far given an assurance there is sufficient supply of essential items.
“As such, the public should not worry because there is sufficient supply of these items,” he said.
He also said that the police detained four individuals Saturday for non-compliance of RMCO and all of them were slapped with compound notices. — Bernama
