Malaysians express relief over govt’s latest decision to relax SOP
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 9 ― Restaurant, hotel and sports facility operators welcomed the government’s decision to allow them to resume their respective operations and allow those who are fully vaccinated to partake in social activities effective tomorrow.
“In the Klang Valley, Alhamdulillah around 85 per cent of workers have been vaccinated, with 50 per cent having completed both shots,” he said, adding there were around 4,500 Presma members throughout the country. “It shows the government’s commitment to transition the country from the state of a pandemic to accepting Covid-19 as endemic. While these are relatively small progressive steps especially for the tourism industry, the industry can now prepare itself for an impending reopening.
Yap said, another proposal by MAH, which has been presented to the Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri earlier this year, is to allow fully vaccinated persons to travel between districts and states with added controls of confirmed hotel bookings and itineraries that can be monitored by hotels.
“I believe that Malaysians are wise enough to make their own assessment. No matter what, Malaysians need to be responsible for their actions. The relaxation and approval of sports and recreational activities, approval of dining-in and the reopening of domestic tourism are very welcomed as it will help reduce stress levels after such a long period of staying at home.
