He said the extension of operating hours was allowed after listening to appeals from bazaar traders.
“We were informed that visitors will only go out after Isyak and tarawih prayers, and when we allow them (traders) to operate until midnight, their business hours are too short,” he said in a news conference on the development of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) and Recovery MCO (RMCO) today.
On the standard operating procedures (SOP) for Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration, Ismail Sabri said they were being scrutinised and would be announced next week after listening to a presentation from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM).

KUCHING: All schools in red zones in Sarawak will be closed for 14 days beginning tomorrow following a spike in COVID-19 cases, said Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.
He said the government took this measure because infections had been reported in school areas and could spread to students, parents and teachers.
“In order to protect the health of children and the local communities, the Sarawak government decided to close all schools in red zones,” he told a press conference on enforcement of the standard operating procedure (SOP) at Wisma Bapa Malaysia here today.
As of yesterday, 18 districts in the state were under the red zone, with new daily cases hitting 508.
