Apr 05, 2022

Some mamak restaurants are still unable to operate for 24 hours.

The Malaysian Muslim Restaurant Owners Association says it’s because of a lack of manpower.

It says currently, only a quarter of its members nationwide can operate for 24 hours.

As such, it urged the government to ease the burden of such restaurants, by facilitating the entry of foreign workers into the country.
