PETALING JAYA: Many would agree that two hours is quite enough time to finish shopping. On the other hand, it may be difficult to know how long a cust.
PETALING JAYA: Shopping malls, including other smaller shopping outlets, contributed merely 4.78% of all Covid-19 cases and none have been determined .
PETALING JAYA: It is impractical to enforce a two-hour limit for shoppers inside a mall, said the Malaysia Shopping Malls Association.
While it agreed that limiting the time shoppers spent would help enhance movement control in current circumstances, it said mall management personnel have no control of where shoppers visit and are unable to keep track of their movements.
“The only practical way is to put up signs at the entrance and common areas and to advise businesses to do similarly at their premises plus announcements (where applicable) to remind shoppers.
“Apart from this, we say that it is neither practical for anyone to stop a shopper asking to check his/her MySejahtera to audit the time of entry nor do we have the authority to do so. In the event enforcement authorities were to undertake this, it would be akin to a ‘police state’.
