FOR the upcoming Kew Ong Yeah (Nine Emperor Gods) Festival, dining-in at temporary roadside stalls in Penang is still a no-no, said Penang Island City Council (MBPP). “Those observing a vegetarian diet during the nine-day festival are not allowed to dine-in at roadside stalls. “Fully vaccinated devotees dining-in at shops, restaurants and food complexes must register via the MySejahtera app and have their temperature taken. Theng said hawkers applying for roadside stall permits for the festival also need to provide a floor plan for their stalls for strict standard operating procedure compliance. The Nine Emperor Gods Festival will begin on Oct 6 and end on Oct 14 this year.
