PETALING JAYA: Those who fill fuel at gas stations do not need to scan the MySejahtera app as long as they are not in contact with anyone else, says Chief Minister (Defense) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
This would include those who make electronic payments, such as credit cards or electronic wallets, he said.
Similarly, those who make cash payments through the “locker” outside the store do not need to register their details.
“Since they had no contact with anyone, they do not need to register using the MySejahtera application or register manually,” he said yesterday during a press conference.
He also said that those who pump the tires of their vehicles or use the automatic car wash without making contact with anyone do not need to record their data either.
However, those who go to convenience stores, surau, restrooms or workshops at gas stations would have to scan the MySejahtera app or record their details.
“When they are inside, they will have interaction with others like the cashier or other customers. Then they must register, ”he said.
Earlier, there was confusion following a report citing police as saying that anyone filling up gas at gas stations had to scan the MySejahtera app.
Recently, there was a viral audio clip of a man claiming that his father was fined RM 1,000 because he failed to scan the MySejahtera app when refueling his vehicle.
Ismail Sabri also said the work-from-home policy was extended to all states following the closure of schools across the country.
For the public sector, the maximum attendance for offices was 30%, with the respective department heads determining who should join.
He said that for the industrial sector, the Ministry of Industry and International Trade would announce additional information on the policy.
“However, the work-from-home policy will not involve informal sectors such as retail, restaurants, plantations, agriculture, fishing and others,” he said.
Ismail Sabri said the government made the decision, as the closure of schools and daycare centers across the country until the end of the year had left parents with children in a difficult situation.
He also said that the improved motion control order at Taman Mesra in Sandakan, Sabah, will be extended for another 14 days until November 24.
The Defense Minister said the Health Ministry had screened 1,124 people with 134 positive cases detected within the town.
Of those who tested positive, 43 have recovered with 91 cases still active.
He also said police took action against 341 people who violated standard operating procedure, such as failing to observe social distancing and not wearing face masks.
