PETALING JAYA: Certain retail stores will be allowed to continue operating despite the enhanced movement control order that begins today in parts of the Klang Valley, says the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry.
Its minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said these retail premises provided essential services and necessities to the public.
However, he also said that their operational hours would be limited during the enhanced MCO from July 3-16.

Outlets that provide essential services allowed to operate during EMCO, says Nanta thestar.com.my - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from thestar.com.my Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
