MUHYIDDIN Yassin today said bars, pubs and nightclubs will remain closed as part of efforts to contain Covid-19.

“The economy is showing (signs of) recovery, with all sectors having reopened except for pubs and nightclubs,” he told a Perikatan Nasional convention in Kuala Lumpur.

“I hope they stay closed,” he added in jest.

Earlier today, Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said police yesterday issued a record 673 compounds for violations of the recovery movement-control order, with 600 of them coming from raids on nightclubs.

Muhyiddin added that pubs and nightclubs must remain shut as it is difficult to ensure social distancing at these places. – September 1, 2020.
