Restaurants with a liquor license can serve alcoholic beverages for dinner, said Federal Territory Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa.

When asked to clear up the confusion that restaurants were not allowed to serve liquor, he said the problem was not the liquor but the business.

“Companies with a restaurant license can operate, but companies with an entertainment license, such as pubs and karaoke, are not.

“As long as the business owner with a restaurant license complies with the Standard Operating Procedure during the conditional motion control order (MCO), he can operate as stipulated in his valid licenses,” he said at a press conference after launching the Koran Putrajaya in Koran Kompleks Nasyrul in Putrajaya in conjunction with the Putrajaya Silver Jubilee celebration.

He also said that the ministry was working to improve operating conditions in all markets.

“For example, the unhealthy condition of the Kuala Lumpur wholesale market coupled with subletting the business license to foreigners and hiring foreigners without permission for cheap labor are the main concerns we are trying to address now.”

“There are too many foreigners and they live in confined spaces. With strict enforcement, we now have more than 1,000 locals working in the market.”

“The facilities that flaunt the SOP are forced to close daily. We have allowed such practices for a long time, but we must change and adopt the new standard,” he said.
