MCO 2.0: Auto accessories shops can operate again

MCO 2.0: Auto accessories shops can operate again

Well, the posts have shifted again. The government has announced that more businesses will be allowed to open during the reimplemented movement control order (MCO) as of tomorrow, February 10, and auto accessories shops are among them, although in truth many of these have been open for a while now, at least in KL and Petaling Jaya.

The decision will of course be welcome news to auto accessories operators providing window tint installation services in Perak, which earlier this week voiced their displeasure over not being allowed to run their businesses while their counterparts in other states had been allowed to do so.

The announcement of the reopening of more businesses in the retail sector was made earlier this evening by senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who said that the decision was made in the interests of economic continuity, and to ensure businesses could survive. As always, everyone will have to adhere to strict standard operating procedures (SOPs).

The latest move, which opens up retail businesses such as clothing stores, shoe shops, toy stores and sports equipment outlets, follows on last week’s decision to allow night markets, barber shops and car wash centres to operate again. From tomorrow, dine-in at restaurants and food outlets will also be permitted, but limited to two people per table.

      Need to implement MCO 1.0 then rakyat will forced to comply. If they don’t care about their lives, health and safety, at least we have a caring gomen that cares for them.

    A friend just came back from a car accessory shop having done a premium state of the art car audio upgrade today.
    By the way,none of the car accessory shops within 10 km have closed since Jan 13,MCO.
    What are we talking now?
    Those apparel shops have been doing business like before in our taman quietly.
    It goes to show,there is confusion and lack of enforcement or clarity of SOPs.
    The press conference by own honorary menteri and ground zero is “seemingly”like planet earth and planet Pluto.Miles apart.
    Make no mistake.MAJORITY of the rakyat wants to obey SOPs ,get the virus under control.We cant afford MCO 3.0.
    By then,lots of people go hungry ,get bankruptcy notices n lelong rumah.

      Well, they operate under ‘car repair & maintenance’ as technically they do provide repair and most acc shop now offer maintenance package. Its kinda grey area here. Unless the shop only sell accessories but even acc shop sells some spare parts related to accessories so they can operate when normal parts shop operates right? grey area again….
