The National Security Council (NSC) should consider reviewing the two persons per table ruling at eateries with large tables, says Alliance for Safe Community Chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye (pic)
PETALING JAYA: The National Security Council (NSC) should consider reviewing the two-person-per-table ruling at eateries with large tables, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye. Tables at some restaurants vary in sizes and what can be done is adjusting the current ruling for larger tables. It is not practical for a large table to accommodate only two persons who are seated 2m apart, he said when contacted on Sunday (Feb 14).
Lee, who is the Alliance for Safe Community chairman, also described that the two-per-table ruling led to absurd situations involving families intending to dine out. For example, if there is a family of four, it would be absurd for their children to sit at separate tables if they are from the same household.
