PUTRAJAYA: Food traders, especially those at pasar malam, morning and farmers markets must wear face masks if that is the condition stipulated by the local authorities that permits them to do business, says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said while the mandatory use of face masks is not stipulated under Act 342 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act, it could be made as a requirement by the local authorities.
“If that is a condition, then traders who are caught not having a face mask on can have their licence revoked. “So I hope that traders, especially those selling food, must use face masks. It gives customers some assurance and confidence over who they buy the products from, ” he said during a press conference here on Friday .
Ismail Sabri was asked on complaints by the public that traders at pasar malam and morning markets do not wear a face mask while as customers, they act responsibly by putting it on when they go to such places to shop.
