A *RANT* !! The upcoming strict SOP effective Tue, 25th May 2021.. Let it be said that , especially with regards to opening & closing of businesses at 8am till 8pm.. it's one that reeks from people who do not even understand what happens at 6am all over Malaysia.. 1/n

6am Malaysia; at markets, coffeeshops, kedai runcit, hawker stalls, penjaja etc..

Buying things, 6-7am, a window period that helps so many people; fr shift workers to general workers to even ketua rumah going out to buy bread 🍞 & buns for family & breakfast for myself !! 2/n

Near perfect SOP compliance at all premises, locations.. except for the odd Ah Pek who insists on puffing his cigarette 🚬 after his meal..

But .. it is very good Social Distancing with such less crowd !! So why disrupt that with an 8am opening time ??? 3/n

Do you know, now people will converge to that narrowed time frame of 8am-8pm ?? Won't that lead to higher density, making social distancing harder ?? What abt those who'll struggle to buy back dinner 🍲 ? Is there enough time ? Surely more people will be there

Why ?? Why ?? 4/n

Here it is @cassleeyy .. the 8am to 8pm operating times for business are so ridiculous !! And I just got feedback stalls who prepare for delivery food riders, will equally be in a dilemma in deciding cut-off time for last order !!

And now we see further complications, added to this 8am to 8pm ruling.. the limited entry into grocery stores..
