KUALA LUMPUR: The suitable standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the economic sectors which have yet to be allowed to reopen should be proposed by the relevant ministries, according to Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said the proposed SOPs would then be referred to the National Security Council (MKN) Technical Committee for scrutiny and to the MKN special meeting for approval.
“The MKN special meeting will involve most of the Cabinet ministers, Menteri Besar and Chief Minister with Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as the chairman.
“All decisions (on the SOPs for sectors or industries yet to be allowed to reopen) are made based on the outcome of the special meeting,” he told the daily press conference on the movement control order (MCO) here today.
He said the instruction to all ministries to submit their proposal on the SOPs for their industries was decided in the MKN special meeting yesterday.
Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri also wished Happy Chinese New Year to those celebrating and reminded them to continue complying with the SOPs.
“Just like the previous festive seasons, the police will strictly monitor SOPs compliance among the public, including in residential areas. So, please comply with the SOPs to avoid legal action.
“Complying with the SOPs is not just to avoid being issued a summons, but to ensure the safety of ourselves, our families and our communities,” he said. – Bernama
