PETALING JAYA: The standard operating procedure (SOP) for those in green zone areas is being finalised by the National Security Council (NSC), says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. Ismail Sabri, who is also Defence Minister, hoped that the NSC would table the finalised SOP to the government for approval to be announced later. Ismail Sabri also said that food outlets would follow the current SOP, without extended operational hours. However, Ismail Sabri said the government would consider suggestions from the public for food outlets in green zones to open till 10pm during Ramadan. On suggestions for pawn shops to be allowed to operate to ease the burden of those facing hardship during Covid-19, Ismail Sabri said this was up to the NSC.
