The announcement that the non-essential services sectors will be allowed to operate from May 3 will provide much-needed relief to Muslims as it will help them prepare for the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations.
The good news was also welcomed by the Dayak community, which will be celebrating Gawai Dayak on June 1.
Approval for the sectors to operate was announced by the Sarawak State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) today to enable sectors such as retail, distribution, wholesale, clothing, shoes and household necessities to reopen from that date.
The sectors are currently shut down following an extension of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO), especially in the Sibu Division, from April 27 to May 17, the committee said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Sibu Division disaster management committee chairperson Wong Hee Sieng said those sectors will only be allowed to operate from 6am to 8pm and at 50 percent staff capacity.
“Only 50 customers are allowed into department stores and just 10 customers into the clothing and household necessities stores at any one time,” Wong said.
