KUALA LUMPUR (April 16): The government has said NO to all kinds of bazaars this Ramadan, including e-bazaars or e-iftar.
According to a Malay Mail report, Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said despite earlier proposals by the government, the Cabinet meeting today decided not to allow any form of bazaars or stalls to operate during this Ramadan.
“We have listened to views from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) on their plans to start e-iftar, where stalls are allowed to open to sell food during Ramadan.
“However, the meeting today has decided that any type of business in regards to bazaars or Ramadan stalls including in the form of e-bazaar, e-iftar, ‘drive-thru’ or order-and-collect are not allowed,” the news portal reported Ismail Sabri saying at a media conference today.
But the minister clarified that buying food via e-hailing will still not be affected.
“We just don’t want to allow any form of bazaars. This is because, for an example, if a bazaar has 50 stalls and even though the business can be done via e-hailing, the place will still be congested and crowded and this is what we want to avoid,” he explained.
